This Year's Model - Last Year's News

When: 22nd April - 4th June 2006

Where: Q Arts Gallery in Derby.

My work within the show:

This is an installation centred around a couple of shelves of archive boxes. Starting with various news sources I created models and videos by manipulating the information either directly or using the ideas from within the source information. On the opposite side of the space is a collection of newspapers and other information that were collected during the research stage of this project. There is also a computer available that can be used to view this information.

The official blurb: Combining communication, optimism in human nature and a fantastic sense of humour... this group exhibition presents the best in new graduate work from the Midlands region. All of the artists involved examine everyday events and occurrences, which seem at first glance unremarkable. Through their observations of how people smile, how we perceive God, how we examine daily news events and how we communicate with other people and primates, these artists present a sincere and intriguing view of the world over the past year.
