Matt Packer, the curator of the Lewis Glucksman Gallery, was interviewed about the Bookish exhibition for the RTÉ Lyric FM Arts Show.
It can be listened to online here.
The coverage of Bookish starts at 13 mins 56 second into the show.
I am currently participating in a project called Contemporary. Artists Explore. Gallery as Studio. at Limerick City Gallery of Art. One of the exhibition spaces has become my studio for a few weeks. There’ll be an open evening on Thursday 17th at 6. I’ll be at the gallery until the 20th July.
A piece of recent work
Work in progress
Apple approached Christian Marclay to use his video Telephones for an iphone ad. He refused so they decided to rip-off his idea. Marclay’s video used short clips featuring phone calls from classic Hollywood films. He decided it was unwise to sue Apple in part because he has used his clips without permission. But the obvious difference between the 2 cases of copyright infringement is that Marclay montaged the existing material together to create something new whereas Apple have just copied Marclay’s idea.
Here are two youtube videos the first showing a clip from Marclay’s film from a documentary about his work and the other showing the rip-off ad.
This story comes from the ny times
Some work from my show at the Lab toured out to the Red Stables a few months ago. I just got some photos of the show today so here are a couple.
The exhibition “Bookish: When Books Become Art” at the Lewis Glucksman Gallery at UCC in Cork opened last night.
My favourite piece in the show is John Latham’s film which shows every page of the Enclyopedia Brittanica at high speed. The text has a strange, rythmic pulsing quality that appears animated and images flash up intermittently.
I also particularly enjoyed the sculpture by Jonathan Callan which is similar to the one pictured below:
My own contribution to the show consists of three wooden tables with objects that were found between the pages of books in the UCC library. The work also includes a video which presents a letter written in 1979 and a song by Joan Baez the handwritten lyrics to which I found in a book.
