Stephen Sutcliffe at Tramway

LAST CHANCE TO SEE. 
 
STEPHEN SUTCLIFFE - OUTWORK

Exhibition ends Sun 30 June.

MFA graduate Stephen Sutcliffe creates film collages from an extensive archive of British television, film sound, broadcast images and spoken word recordings he has been collecting since childhood. Often reflecting on aspects of British culture and identity, the results are melancholic, poetic and satirical amalgams which subtly tease out and critique ideas of class-consciousness and cultural authority.

In his most ambitious exhibition to date, Sutcliffe exhibits an expanded version of on his most recent film Outwork, commissioned for the Margaret Tait Award during the Glasgow Film Festival 2013. Outwork is a filmic collage inspired by Erving Goffman’s book Frame Analysis, which explores how experience is influenced by framing contexts. Sutcliffe employs this premise structurally, through a humorous series of moving images and animations which explore how titles, prefaces and introductions shape our reading of the work that follows them.

For his exhibition at Tramway, Sutcliffe has reconfigured Outwork as an installation for multiple screens, setting up a rhythmic choreography between image and sound. Drawing in previous work and new sequences to comment on the core film, this new interpretation of Outwork situates the film as part of a larger collage. Animations and synchronised images shown on two outer screens literally frame the original film, functioning as margins, in which Sutcliffe’s own notes, influences and ‘workings out’, become part of the finished collage.

Soft Paste - Zoe Williams

Soft Paste
a solo show by Zoe Williams

15.06.13 - 06.07.13

Soft Paste is Zoe Williams’ first solo show in Scotland. Tastefully built around a new video, Soft Paste also brings together, newly handcrafted objects. Zoe’s installation immerses the visitors into a world where luxury, fetishism and references to fashion advertising collide. Her glamorous aesthetic turns the gallery into a dark club where ambience, attitude and body language play a decisive role.

 Zoe Williams is based in Glasgow. She graduated from the MFA The Glasgow School of Art in 2012. Recent shows include Easy Living, Less is More Projects, Paris, 2012; EXTRACT II, Kunstforeningen G L Strand, Copenhagen, 2012/13; She received EXRACT II Young International Art Prize 2012. Forthcoming projects include OD, One Thoresby Street, Nottingham, 2013; COCKTAIL, Nottingham Contemporary, 2013. In 2014 She will have a solo presentation of her work at Kunstforeningen G L Strand, Copenhagen.

Marbled Reams





Individual copies from Jennifer Bailey’s Marbled Ream are now available. Purchasing information and project background can be found below and at www.marbledreams.com.

Marbled Reams is a print project that launched at Publish and Be Damned 2009 with the initial production and display of 12 reams. The project continues with new reams being produced on a bi-monthly basis. The project is run by MFA graduate Tom Godfrey.

Marbled Reams is derived from an artwork produced by Godfrey with the same title in 2007 where a ream of A4 paper was marbled along one edge and displayed on a glass shelf.



Realising the potential vested in a stack of blank paper, and the ease at which the title could be mis-read as 'Marble Dreams', the artwork has been developed into an editioning/publishing project where artists are invited to produce a single A4 work that is then photocopied onto an entire ream. This is then marbled along one edge, offering a shared origin for all 500 sheets, documented for the projects website, and then displayed in its entirety, highlighting another theme in the project of linking the display of printed matter with that of sculpture.

28 different reams have been produced so far with each individual page available for a price of £1 + £2PP(this covers the cost of sending between 1 & 28 pages), annual subscriptions of £18 are also available to receive 6 further works produced bi-monthly.

If interested in purchasing copies and/or a subscription then please contact tomgodfrey@mac.com
