Berlin Day 4...

Posted by Dickie Webb on Sunday, March 20, 2011, In : ECA 
Day 4 in Berlin and I headed to see some of the exhibitions that were a plenty.. Firstly checking in at the Deutsche Guggenheim to see Agathe Snow - All Access World show.  This took a while to get into as by its very nature was overloading.. The vast walls covered in collages and the floor filled with movable statues or monuments, once you started to interact with the pieces it seemed to become less intense and easier to digest..  Here are a couple of photos..

Sau Paulo to Berlin..

Posted by Dickie Webb on Sunday, March 6, 2011, In : ECA 


 It was about this time last year that I stumbled across this site about Sau Paulo and how the governor there is cleaning up the city and has taken drastic measures to do so.  He has removed all advertising from the city which as you can see from yourself in this link has had a dramatic effect of the feel to the city, I can only imagine how it must feel.

Sign artists...

Posted by Dickie Webb on Monday, February 28, 2011, In : ECA 
I was introduced to artist Matt Siber a couple of days ago, with his work highlighting our saturation with advertising and isolating the information we are fed.  His works are really quite inquisitive and make you look back and forth as to what is actually being shown in our everyday lives. 

 

Here is a link to his website: http://siberart.com/

Also checkout bill boards and sign work by artist Mark Titchner that works a long similar lines I am currently investigating..

ECA Drawing Residency: Sculpture Court Elevator.

Posted by Dickie Webb on Monday, October 18, 2010, In : ECA 


Functional Elevator shaft hidden away in the corner of the sculpture court in the main building at the Edinburgh College of Art.  I have chosen this site for my residency due to its purpose and function within the college.  It is not designed for looks or to enhance the building rather more to work behind the scenes and allow the three levels it serves to operate and function purposefully.
