I head down to Newcastle for the excitement that is This Is Not Art tomorrow.
Here’s a little blurb about what I’m showing:
“Over the years Pete has acquired many little narrative odds and ends; concepts and lore that he has found exciting, challenging or true. This exhibition is a collection of some of those little pieces that he never found anywhere else to put. Presented once as a staged photo (by Todd) and again as an illustration, the pairs reveal these little ideas As Seen In Lines & Light.”
I was fortunate enough to recruit the talents of local photographer Todd Hunter McGaw and illustrator Natalie Perkins (for the beautiful frames) to create this exhibition. 2 x 8 pieces. The concept is similar to Chris Perren’s on his band’s debut album Mimicry of Lines and Light (iTunes link) and as such the exhibition is called As Seen in Lines & Light. It’s got a nice symmetry to it I think :) – one audible, one visual but both about the natural and the digital. This is why we work so well together – our heads work the same way.
So if you find yourself at TiNA be sure to stop by and say hi. It’s promising to be an ENORMOUS weekend.
This is Learn From Fiction. The book he’s holding is actually The Juniper Tree, a collection of the brothers Grimm. This one is a reminder to hold fiction close; to learn from it. As usual expect to see more soon.
