MFA INTERIM SHOW 2013

MFA INTERIM SHOW: 27 April - 4 May 2013

You are invited to the opening of the 2013 MFA Interim show in the Mackintosh Museum on Friday 26th April 6-8pm. 

Stephanie Burt, Jack Cheetham, Patrick Cole, Johnathan Cook, Tianfeng Cui, Natalie Duncan, Marysia Gacek, Lauren Hall, Amanda Hillis, Selma Hreggvidsdottir, Heejoon Lee, Sarah F Maloney, Emily McFarland, Aniara Omann, Kirsty Palmer, Alexandra Panyuta, Malie Robb, Alexandra Sarkisian, Kelli Sims, Vigdis Storsveen, Maria Toumazou, Katrina Valle, Rika Watanabe, Dominic Watson, Lauren Wells, Fanny Wickstrom.

The annual exhibition of new work by twenty-six students in the first year of the Master of Fine Art comprises a great variety of works across a wide range of media including painting, drawing, sculpture, video, performance and installation.

The MFA programme has built an international reputation over the past twenty years as one of the UK's leading postgraduate fine art programmes. The MFA is a two-year, multidisciplinary programme: both of these fundamental facts are significant.  A two-year programme of study offers students an extraordinary opportunity to analyse their studio practice in depth, and to modify, develop and secure it accordingly. The multidisciplinary context also ensures that such developments are protected against narrowly defined ambitions.  MFA students learn from, and contribute to, the delivery of the programme curriculum, the experiences of their peers, and the wider art community based within the city of Glasgow.  Within this situation a premium is placed upon independence, originality, initiative and enterprise. The MFA aims to produce graduates who are equipped for a career in the professional art world: informed, confident, independent and ambitious. MFA students are drawn from all corners of the world, and the international dimension of the programme, as demonstrated by the list of names above, is seen as one of its particular strengths.

Location:
Mackintosh Museum The Glasgow School of Art 167 Renfrew Street Glasgow G3 6RQ

Opening hours: Mon-Sun 11am-5pm, 27 Apr - 4 May 2013

For this show, MFA graduate Mick Peter has been working on a new body of work taking literature, the world of ‘commercial’, illustration and graphic design as starting point. By using an anamorphic illusion the space will be transformed into a site for artifice and imagination, mimicking the tropes of ‘witty’ graphic design from the 60’s and 70’s. In this large scale installation Peter will continue investigate the transposition of drawings into sculptures and flat surfaces into improbable combinations of sculptural forms.

Mick Peter’s works assert the instability of meaning and the rhetorical potential of objects and images. His sculptural output transposes the absurdity and strangeness inherent in the work of writers and designers like Roland Topor, Stefan Themerson and Milton Glaser. In setting up strange and fantastical relationships his projects are disorientating and surprising.

Marysia Gacek exhibition in New York

March 15, 2013 - April 12, 2013

Opening Reception: Friday, March 15. 7pm - 9pm

NURTUREart Gallery, 56 Bogart St., Brooklyn NY

NURTUREart presents On the Golden Wire For Thirty Four, a collaboration between Marysia Gacek (current MFA student), Natalie Häusler, and Katharina Marszewski. Starting with the general idea of an exchange of content between artists, the initial focus of this project is put on the materiality of such content, rather than its possible meaning.

The point of departure is the limit: weight and volume of the most standard international package between the USA, UK and Germany. Each collaborator supplies one third of the materials and contributes to one Care Package*, which will travel from New York to Berlin to Glasgow to Berlin, before returning to its city of origin.

This exchange of matter focuses on the process, rather than what it manifests itself as in the end. The package is meant to supply three artists with the same materials to work with, without a pre-envisioned outcome. The collaboration examines individual methodologies leading to creating work using a model of giving and taking away.
When the package returns to New York, it will be put on display alongside artworks inspired by its content in a gallery exhibition at NURTUREart.

*Although “CARE package” is a registered trademarked term, originating in the wake of a World War II campaign to send food and supplies to Europe, the expression is still used in everyday vernacular to share the idea of providing comfort by sending food, supplies and small mementos. In 1945 Americans were given the opportunity to purchase a care package for 10 dollars to send to their friends or relatives. In 1962 President John F. Kennedy said that every CARE package is a personal contribution to the world peace and it expresses concern and friendship in a language all peoples understand.

David Sherry - Sense Makes No Sense

Sense Makes No Sense
David Sherry
The Changing Room, Stirling

16 Feb - 12 April 2013

MFA graduate David Sherry’s art practice centres around performative ideas relating to everyday life and depicting ordinary experiences from a new perspective. Exploring beliefs, social interaction and real experience. Making works that re-access the acceptance of common values and exploring the thin vale of sanity and the contradictions in life.

Sherry gains, through his work, an insight into the psychological diversity of any singular situation, fragmenting what is accepted and analysing a basic moment in day to day life. Conveying the idea that nothing is permanent or stable, questioning what is understood and re-evaluating a collective perspective.

For his solo show at The Changing Room Sherry will present new video works alongside a new series of drawings & paintings.

"Roll Over" is a tribute to the lifelong commitment to the development of cinematography by British-American filmmaker Richard Leacock (London 1921-2011 Paris). His aspiration to get closer to reality and the methodology he developed to accomplish this aim, influenced filmography as we know it today. This exposition wants to bring forth new understandings of documentary in its capacity to shape the world. Video and "Final Cut Pro" are a few of the inventions that have made film accessible to a wider public. Still, the basic concerns of a documentary filmmaker haven’t fundamentally changed since film was born: Do I or do I not make a story. How can I get closer to the subject I’m interested in and how to reveal circumstances that have gone unnoticed before. How do I express ideas. Two rare films by Richard Leacock will be shown alongside recent works by contemporary artists Yto Barrada (*1971, FR/MA), Duncan Campbell (*1972, IE), Jan Dietvorst (*1953, NL) & Roy Villevoye (*1960, NL), Luke Fowler (*1978, UK), Fernando Sánchez Castillo (*1970, ES) and Hirofumi Suda (*1978, JP). Their films are inquisitive, but not informative. Some of them defy their own nature, introducing fictional elements in a non-fiction setting. Others include footage of events that took place when the filmmaker was still a child, or before he or she was even born. In all cases, sequences have been gathered, classified and shaped into a form open to numerous interpretations.
Opening hours:
Do-Fr 14-18 Uhr, Sa-So 13-17 Uhr
Thu-Fri 2-6 p.m., Sat-Sun 1-5 p.m.
