by Katrina Grant • • 0 Comments

Artist Talks at BLINDSIDE Gallery | Kieran Stewart and Todd Johnson
by Katrina Grant • • 0 Comments
Artist talks on the current exhibition at Blindside. Saturday 22 March 2.30pm A HIGHLY INADVISABLE UNDERTAKING | KIERAN STEWART A highly unadvisable undertaking, is a handmade parachute apparatus built by filling in the gaps and constructing through a process of guesswork and sheer intuition. A garage built stand-in that may do the job but could kill the user in the same stroke.

Defaced signage, fractured objects and enigmatic remnants of public/private disasters scattered from the untimely and terrorizing underworld of encounters. ‘Evidence’ is a psychologically charged site; a scene showing the aftermath of a poetic and rebellious act…

The Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge: a case study in the evolution of the art museum Dean’s Lecture | Duncan Robinson The Fitzwilliam Museum was founded in 1816 by the bequest made to the University of Cambridge by a wealthy alumnus, Richard Viscount Fitzwilliam.
