Today I took a walk down to the Tramway to have a coffee and read through some writing I did a week ago.
I also took a look around the Visual Art exhibits.
The two that caught my interest were “In the Flesh” and “Something No Less Important Than Nothing/ Nothing No Less Important Than Something”
“In the Flesh” by Billy Cowie
“In the Flesh” is a 3-D stereoscopic dance presentation. Wearing 3-D glasses you look down into the darkened performance area. A solo dancer is projected in to the area and a haunting poem is recited. The piece last 4 minutes. It is the best implementation of 3-D projection I have seen, at one point when the performer reaches upwards it is impossible not to try and hold out your hand to try and shake hands.
“Something No Less Important Than Nothing/Nothing No Less Important Than Something” by Jonathan Monk
I never really know how I am supposed to interact with these type of art exhibits, some things you are supposed to touch and even alter and others not. I guess as I get more use to attending these things I will learn.
There is a review for “The List” here.
There is a photo of one the pieces called “Infinity Interrupted, 2008″ at my TwitPic page. One of the pieces called “Will the Void Fit In The Back of The Van I & II, 2008. Poster, two versions” These posters were to be taken away by the visitors, so naturally I took two.
