\"unfamiliar<\/p>\n

(Un)familiar, curator Maeve Mulrennan’s group show about out of body experiences that I have work in, opened in the Red House Arts Center in Syracuse, NY USA last Thursday the 18th March. Here is a link to an article about the show from the Syracuse City Eagle<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While Maeve went to New York to oversee the installation of the show and do a gallery talk on the opening night I went over to Glasgow for a few days. Really, really liked the place and visited a few exhibitions at Trongate 103, Transmission and The Centre for contemporart art. However, it wasn’t the main reason for my going over there, but that’s for another post entirely. <\/p>\n

I have read some amazing books recently. “Do Androids dream of electric sheep” by Philip K. Dick (the nover Blade Runner was based on), “The Journal of Eugene Delacroix”, “The Castle” by Franz Kafka (I had read Metamorphosis and The Trial a few years ago) and now I’m reading “The Double” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, which really ties in with the (Un)familiar project so well. I see myself more and more drawn to metaphysical questions about who we are and our experience of the world and all the books I’ve been reading tie in with this. I am also a big fan of intelligent Sci-Fi movies, since they ask these same questions, such as Blade Runner, Metropolis, Planet of the apes, 2001 and Forbidden Planet. <\/p>\n

I am well underway with making work for the Dock Discourse project at the moment as well, which is also informed by my interest in the things previously stated. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
