A journey into the American West

2009-10-29T08:44:00.002Z

This autumn I am taking part in a field research program run by the University of New Mexico. The program includes undergraduate and post graduate fine art students. We spend over 50 nights in the field traveling over 8000 miles through New Mexico, Utah,Arizona and to the borders of Nevada and Texas. En route we will visit monumental earth works. We will use the desert landscape as a studio to live, work and learn.

A Time And A Place

2009-10-29T08:39:00.000Z

Now in its second year, Place Projects is fast becoming an integral part of the Collective Gallery’s ever-expanding New Work Scotland Programme. The artist-led initiative aims to support emerging artists by developing a community in which constant dialogue leads to the creation of art. Places are coveted by recent graduates, eager to be nurtured by one of Scotland’s leading galleries and keen to collaborate with some of the country’s most talented up-and-coming artists.

In keeping with this spirit of the free exchange of ideas, The Journal spoke to Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) graduate Rachel MacLean and Glasgow School of Art alumnus Simon Gowing (SEA). Maclean and Gowing’s collaboration, The Principal Inhabitants of the Moon, is the first of two Place Projects to be shown at the Collective Gallery.

"By drawing attention to a failure, can it be made into just an everyday event, rather than something negative?"

Optical illusions at Atelier Hermes

2009-06-04T09:22:00.001+01:00

Your eyes will go spinning the moment you set foot in the Atelier Hermes in Sinsa-dong.

Artist Jim Lambie has covered the 326.81 square-meter floor with multi-colored neon vinyl tape for his first solo exhibition in Korea, titled "Nervous Track."

"It is like putting a new skin on the floor, almost like a tattoo. It also reminds of the lines of an LP," the Scottish artist told The Korea Herald last week.
