Sound as a..

After telling April about my idea to use sound as the main medium for this project I started looking further into Paul Rooney's work as when I first encountered it I felt it was very emotive. Looking through his collection I discovered this collaborative sound piece with another artist called 'Susan Phillipsz'.

"This exhibition brings together artists Susan Philipsz and Paul Rooney whose work has a shared interest in the way sound can be a trigger for memory and the emotive charge that voices and music bring to a space."

Both artists have a great interest in using popular music in their work 'the idea of being shifted from our seperate, individual experience of music, and of the world, to an experience of music that relies on belonging, being part of a group - on adding our voice to the sound of the crowd.'

What I was thinking today whilst walking home

well.. it started with I'm really hungry, need bread, then I started looking at the people that were walking around town and thinking about how they could be used in the setting of a park.




Then this little beauty came to mind...

I'm going to do some drawings and take some photographs of peoples expressions and movements tomorrow as well as photographing the brick work and architecture.

Just Because...

He's amazing!

The subtle way that Solakov has intergrated his little drawings in to the patterns on the wall paper has turned a decorative pattern into a series of other worldly stories that are humourous, political and satirical.

I knew about this artist before the project through a book I have called '99 Fears'. His linear ink, pen and pencil drawings are cute as well as have a sad tone to them. Looking at his website http://nedkosolakov.net/content/index_eng.html I found a light-hearted an appropriate piece of research for our project called 'Wallpaper'.
