Robert Gober

we recognise this as a leg, but its not a leg. Leg becomes object, it is detached from the norm, and we are unsure... We begin to question what we know... We are offered an alternative narrative of everyday objects. And for this, robert gober, i love you. Quirky yet critical... ideal.

BODY OBJECT SPACE

not all is what it seems...

as David Kemp proves here with his Air Guitar (2002)

jelly art

Liz Hickok sculpts with jelly, something i am going to try later...

jim lambieeeee!!!!

Jim Lambie's new work, Metal Urbain, at The Modern Institute is so frrrrrickin exquisite!! I've been three times so far, definitely one of my favourites at Glasgow International.. And the new Modern Institute space is beautiful too, well worth a visit. Lambie's work just gets better and better. I feel like this exhibition space should be used to hold a wee chilled out rave on a sunny afternoon or something, its such a happy space, and with a bit of bouncy techno and some happy people, it would be a delight :)

long live the king...

I'm thinking a lot about anish kapoor, or rather, the work of anish kapoor. He's a bit too old for me you see... His work is a lot about experience, the experience between the viewer and the work, and this is something I am hoping to look into a lot more throughout my research.

siobhan hapaska

Far - 1994


The first artist who came to mind was Siobhan Hapaska who spoke at a Friday Event last year. Even though she wasn't so keen on her earlier sculptures, because she felt all they spoke about was form, material, surface, I couldn't help but love these. I love their pearlescent quality, and have made me think of using the beautiful finish of such a small, delicate object but on a really large scale, so as to become something quite un-natural, and intriguing..
