A review of 'Night Scenes'

From the blog 'This Is A Collage'  at http://tincollage.blogspot.com/ a review of Exeter Contemporary Open 2011 with a section on the 'Night Scenes' series, excert below:

The final pick of the bunch is a photography piece of city night scenes (picture 12 & 13). Although they are highly reflective, which makes it hard to fully get lost in the shots, the images are great. They have that eerie deserted street feel that leaves you with a slight unease. In addition they are taken from a perspective that is almost eye level but somehow a little bit higher as if the viewer was a giant or floating. It is very subtle but adds an element of the surreal. This is an odd cocktail of elements that really works & lends its attributes the the success of the work.

Proposition Invitation Consequence - UKYA project

in November 2010 the forty-eight artists and artist collectives from UKYA01 (Including myself) were approached with a proposition and invited to take part in a project conceived to create a ‘conversation’ open to all content but structured by specific limitations. Inspired in part by a seminar on invitational and propositional writing as contemporary art practice and the childhood game of consequences, the idea was to create a series of invitations to respond with each artist chosen at random and privy only to the preceding response/invitation. Each response/invitation could take any form and be delivered by e-mail, text message or post; each artist had 48 hours to prepare their response/invitation. Thirty artists took part in the project. The aim was to create a space where continuing interaction between the artists from UKYA01 could manifest itself resulting in an ‘exhibition catalogue’ that facilitated an ongoing collaborative process rather than just representing a past event.
Designed on one side is a graphic representation of the event showing the geographical location of each artist/collective and the point in time when each response/invitation was delivered. On the other side you can see details of each artists's response. For a full representation of the artists' responses go to: http://www.propositioninvitationconsequence.co.uk/

Feel free to let me know if anything either doesn't work on the new site, doesn't make sense or if you just dislike or like anything in particular.
