'The Six Most Beautiful Minutes in the Histry of Cinema', 2011, 6 mins looped film

I know I am not alone in the suspension of disbelief when I view films.

You could say I live my life through film.

In many ways, my behaviour is in part gleaned from the silver screen.

I can chart my life through cinema.

In 'The Six Most Beautiful Minutes in the History of Cinema' I mine the history of cinema to create a raging cacophony of 8 frames a second of images culled from cinema that lasts over 6 minutes. 2880 scenes from a full range of genres, countries, tastes and time flash repeatedly. Like Orson Welles’ unfinished film 'Don Quixote' (of which Giorgio Agamben talks of in his essay which gives this work it’s title) the viewer is left with a choice of whether to give over to the imagery and find their own personal links or to start slashing away at the screen to halt the relentless flow of images. Do you give over to film or try to fight it's seepage into our headspace?

Ian Manicom, Clone Part 1, 2011

What makes you, you? The inability to be somebody other than yourself? With ‘Clone Part 1’ I have attempted to clone one of your senses which in this case is your hearing. Enjoy.

John Plowman

‘Power, luxury and envious glances as standard’ 1987 - 2012

It appears that some time in 1987 I was thinking about a proposal for a temporary sculptural installation in Scarborough.

John Plowman is an artist whose expanded practice encompasses both studio and curatorial activity through which he explores his interest in the production of art, its site(s) of production and exhibition. He has exhibited in numerous one person and group exhibitions in this country and abroad. Beacon, established in 2004, with Nicola Streeten, engages critically with urban cultural values within the context of presenting contemporary art in non-gallery spaces offering a new perspective on art practice through collaboration between artist, audience and institution.

Origin, Resistance, Grandeur, Appeal, Systematic, Message 2.1, 2012

Good and Evil.

Light and Dark.

Black to White.

We all have dreams and aspirations within our short time on this piece of rock and as an artist; I want to make that happen. I am ‘Living The Dream’ but there is an uncertainty to this game, and with that comes fear and the uneasy verb of ‘Help’.

As human’s we like to see ourselves as good upstanding people, but at least once, we have all done something wrong.

What you see on the outside is only the start to what is happening on the inside, smile it is going to be all right!

OUR BUSINESS IS TO BE UTOPIAN at OVER AND OUT Lincoln

Utopia is each persons individual vision of perfection. When every man and woman's 'happy world' consists of thoroughly different ideals, utopias can only be sites with no real space. They are unreal, dream-like worlds, unchieveable in reality.

Featuring the work of- Tom Cretney, John Timberlake, Katalin Hausel, Joe Stevens, Cassandra Wilkinson, Townley and Bradby and Dale Fearnley, OUR BUSINESS IS TO BE UTOPIAN presents each artists ideas of, and comments on utopian spaces. We hope to encourage the audience to question how these unachievable ideals can be broken down and reassembled to become fuctions within society.

MONKS Gallery presents HEADSPACE at OVER+OUT LINCOLN

HeadSpace

 

The inside of our minds are personal, but, are they our own worlds, our personal escape, the place where we can be happy and understood? Or are we are locked in our own minds, tormented? No one knows what is happening inside your head until you communicate your thoughts. We think consciousness and free will gives us control, but our minds are unpredictable.

 

In this exhibition we invite you to explore the personal escape and the self-made prison that is the human mind; an unlimited space in which we are both free to imagine and unable to escape. Climb into another person’s ‘headspace’ and feel what they feel. Is ‘headspace’ a dangerous place to be?
