More Developments and Diary Dates 21/02/2010
Updates this week include the good news that GBP is now the main currency in the Glittermouse shop! It’s been a long time coming but it’s finally possible to make purchases of craft items and from the recent series of digital prints without having to convert to USD and back again! In terms of practical developments in the art work, you can now see a newly updated image of the St Peters Square commission (below)... ... and a video of the most recent experiments with digital video on laser etched objects on the Mouse in Progress page here, however the most exciting news comes in the form of a newly confirmed installation event for April! Marking The Territory will be a visual and audio installation exploring cities and the sounds and artefacts found within them. Drawing on the writings of Michel De Certeau and Marc Auge to tell stories of Place and Space, a contrast between moving image and static drawing will aim to describe the duality of transience and permanence in urban settings. The work will aim to illustrate human interaction with city spaces and question issues around public ownership. Situated at the Link Gallery in the Manchester Metropolitan University Chatham Building, the Installation will be open to the public from April 14th – 19th during the following times: Live Installation Creation: April 14th - 16th 9.30am - 4pm Exhibition of Completed Installation: April 19th 9.30am - 5pm Private View Closing Event: With Live Audio Mixing by Ne7 April 19th 5pm - 7pm Don’t forget to head down to The Roadhouse tonight too (if you’re Manchester based) for the February excitement that is Norvun Sunday; Live music, arts and hot toasted bread products, how could Sunday get any better? |
