MISCHIEF LA-BAS AND MSL PROJECTS PRESENTS
NURSERY CRYMES
In Association with Radiator Arts, UZ Arts, In Situ and Glasgow City Council
Please Note: This event begins at Avant Garde 34-44 King St, Glasgow, G1 5QT.
I have been invited to show as part of Nursery Crimes, a large scale, site specific and interactive promenade installation by Mischief La-Bas Theatre Company. The show will premiere in Glasgow in December ’17 and funding allowing) in Hastings in Feb ’18
For the project I will be making a new film entitled BAD SHEEP .The project involves creating large scale cut-outs that will feature in the animation sequence in the short film as well as forming part of a large scale installation as stand alone sculptures. Thematically my project will explore fragmented narratives linked to the grotesque and darkly comedic aspects of traditional children’s ‘Nursery Rhymes’.
Still from Ventilator (2-07)
Ventilator 6min 35 secs – Synopsis
Ventilator is set in two locations in Scotland; a derelict ventilation system on a rooftop in the city of Glasgow and a beach on the Ayrshire coast.This short experimental video comprises of a mixture of animation and filmed work, with the two protagonists- a woman and a masked, distorted man, encountering and being encountered by a variety of objects, mundane and foreign, many with motive-force of their own. The film is edited to be fragmentary and non-linear, with scenes dissolving and elements collapsing and bleeding into one another. Land art, totemic heads, and the repeated emergence and disintegration of masks throughout the piece represents not a cryptography for the audience to decipher, but an invitation to engage within the ‘logic of sensation’.
