In-World: Second Life Studio – Exhibition and Project Opportunity!


SEA and CCE are looking for interest from students (and staff) in participating in a ‘real world/in-world’ exhibition. Funding from the GSA Learning and Teaching Innovation fund has allowed the purchase of an island in Second Life - an immersive 3D Virtual world – and with the support of Glasgow School of Art Graduates rm*, AKA Gaylie Runciman and Debs Norton, we are looking for people who would be up for experimenting with the site, contexts and processes of Second Life to:

• Build a body of work for a ‘real world/in-world’ exhibition
• Work with Glasgow School of Art Graduates rm*, AKA Gaylie Runciman and Debs Norton to explore the tools and contexts of Second Life as a site of production

This is a one off opportunity to test and show what’s possible in Second Life! It is anticipated that work made with rm* during the project will be exhibited in Second Life and also in a parallel real world space during April 2009. If you’re interested in taking part, please contact Paul Cosgrove Acting Head of Sculpture and Environmental Art by close of play on Friday 14th March and further information on meeting dates and project plans will be sent to you.

Aileen Campbell -Survey

You are warmly invited to the private view for:
Aileen Campbell
Survey
Thursday 5 March 7-9 pm
Exhibition runs Friday 6 March - Sunday 5 April, Tramway 5
Artist Talk Sat 21 March, 2pm


It is this property of music to form complex relationships across vast spaces that Campbell explores in the newly commissioned work Survey. In Starform 2007 the artist relinquished the role of performer to explore the sound lives of others, where elderly men gave private performances made public through their presentation in video projections. In Survey, these private spaces, the sites for rehearsal and performance bleed over from the domestic across stairways and through walls to interrupt and become the soundtracks for others. There is a sense of the local as themes and motifs are introduced and so begins a dialogue which orchestrates a narrative.
