Sense Makes No Sense: David Sherry

Sense Makes No Sense David Sherry 16 February - 13 April 2013

Please join us for the preview on Friday 15 February, 7 - 9pm David Sherry’s art practice centres around performative ideas relating to everyday life and depicting ordinary experiences from a new perspective. Exploring beliefs, social interaction and real experience. Making works that re-access the acceptance of common values, exploring the thin vale of sanity and the contradictions in life. Sherry gains, through his work, an insight into the psychological diversity of any singular situation, fragmenting what is accepted and analysing a basic moment in day to day life. Conveying the idea that nothing is permanent or stable, questioning what is understood and re-evaluating a collective perspective. For his solo show at The Changing Room Sherry will present new video works alongside a new series of drawings & paintings.

1st Year SEA working out with Henry Coombes

Henry Coombes and Gregor Johnstone

Queens Park Railway Club are delighted to announce their inaugural exhibition. As part of QPRCs curatorial residency with program Gregor Johnstone and Henry Coombes.

Art Destroyed The World And It Won't Stop There

Coombes and Johnstone have spent the last two years collaborating on an iPhone app that would allow the smart phone to measure loneliness. It works by wiping the phone through your arse crevice to take measurements of bum-hole acidity. As personal hygiene declines following long periods of isolation the levels of acidity correlates perfectly to loneliness. The app was a total failure so they decided to make a film about the horror and futility of making art.  queensparkrailwayclub

Optical illusions at Atelier Hermes

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.

Martin Boyceis in seventh heaven at the Venice Biennale

Glasgow-based artist Martin Boyce has filled seven rooms of the fifteenth-century Palazzo Pisani with a collection of installations he designed and constructed in his studios in Maryhill, Glasgow, in a large exhibition called No Reflections.

Martin Boyce interview: When in Venice

MARTIN BOYCE REMEMBERS THE precise moment he realised what was so special about Venice. Scouting out locations for his exhibition in this summer's Venice Biennale, where he will represent Scotland, he and curators Judith Winter and Graham Domke of Dundee Contemporary Arts took a boat to the Lido, the "beach resort" island seaward of the old city.

Art review: Nick Evans, Use History Autonome

ARTIST and gallery director Kendall Koppe is showing me around the spanking new gallery, Washington Garcia, that he opened last week. The walls are sparklingly white, the concrete floor has been newly washed and the glass frontage is gleaming. Oh, and the art, by sculptor Nick Evans, is pretty good too.

Jack's thoughts on Kenny's show at Tramway

Sculpture shock

DURING KENNY Hunter's three month residency at New York art centre Location One in 2005, he explored the city, taking in the 'weird quality of light' caused by the lack of direct sun penetrating the concrete jungle. He observed the vast deposits of waste that would emerge on a daily basis from the base of towering skyscrapers. He also read a book on modernism by Marshall Berman called All That Is Solid Melts Into Air. The title, a line from the Communist Manifesto, could easily be a slogan for almost all this Musselburgh-born artist's work.

Kenny Hunter Interview: Graft and craft:

EVERY MORNING, KENNY HUNTER gets on his bike and cycles to his studio in Anniesland along the tow path of the Forth & Clyde Canal. It's an in-between place, part post-industrial wasteland, part bucolic riverside, home to swans and kingfishers, abandoned shopping trolleys and underage drinkers.
