Screenshot of the Exhibition taken by Mike Chavez-Dawson..(with thanks).
I have now got one of my squared envelope collages that I've been working on for the past year up in Malgras|Naudet Gallery round the back of of Piccadilly Station. It is a rather small but quite cool gallery that is attched to Rogue Studios on Chapeltown Street, Crusader Mill.
I have been visiting this gallery for a couple of years and rather glad that I now have work on their walls. I am hung next to a Chavez-Dawson work which is well-hung to say the least. I originally brought up five pieces up with me with three unframed squared collages and two cut-down to A2 portrait sized collages, one in an aluminium frame and the other in a black frame. They selected the black framed collage which has a collective name of; 3in, 1.5in and 1in. The title reflects the dimensions of the collage squares.
I went to the preview last Friday on one of the hottest days of the year with Ken, my partner and milled around for a bit. I am quite shy still at these events, even though I have work on the walls. I'd rather have somebody else be me and I can watch at the periphery but I brought Ken with and he ligged around for me. I heard some responses which was favourable and pleasant enough, which was nice.
We went to the Android show next which was at Piccadilly Place as I had some friends who had work exhibiting here and I met up with some other friends. The work was OK, all based on the concept of the Android..a man-machine. I quite liked the screenprint of some passage written in phonetics. I am interested in language and in phonetics especially and this runs currently through my cut-up prose experiment.
We went back to Malgras|Naudet soon after and enjoyed the work, chatter and the heat of the gallery.
