Photos of 'A4' white paper installation.

A4 - Text and Context

Minimal:- Objects? Sculpture? Permutations.

Here is the Documentation-Photography.



For this conceptual piece/installation, people are invited to take a piece of work (not the photos) but the actual pieces from the show, there are many pieces and variations of 'A4' pieces, including piles of A4 stacked to my height and stacked to equal my weight. People are invited to take pieces (more are made to replace any that are taken), but once outside, out of the context of the gallery, out of the context of an art exhibition they have but a piece of paper. No work or paper is signed. The work is then truly completed in the concept of Text and Context. Once the work is out of the gallery it is out of context and is thus rendered inert, the art/piece taken out of context is then no longer necessarily seen as 'Art'. This is where the dematerialization of the Art Object becomes apparent, the 'Art' in the art is stripped away as it leaves the exhibition, this is where ideas take precedence over materials, bringing to question: authorship, authenticity, ownership, value, does Art stop at being a material object... 

An anti-capitalist statement, the antithesis to 'Art as an object for consumption' in the consumer art world. Does the object have to be an end in itself?

The only thing you can really take from the 'A4' exhibition is the 'concept', 'the ideas' and the questions raised about the materialistic nature of art for sale, art bought for investment, art as an object, the commodification of art, can art exist beyond being an object? What makes art, Art? Text and Context...

The art object is not an end in itself...

"Concept art is first of all an art of which the material is concepts, as the material of e.g. music is sound. Since concepts are closely bound up with language, concept art is a kind of art of which…

Review:

Thanks to the music magazine 'R2' editor Sean McGhee, and especially reviewer Steve Caseman, for inclusion in this latest edition (issue no. 32). Steve has given the group a 4/5-star album review. Please find the full review below, thanks to the kind permission of R2 magazine.

"Bewilderland opens with what sounds like the morning chorus in a small town before string arrangements and keyboards gently but persuasively build into an atmospheric soundtrack to some contemporary video artwork. Welcome to the engaging, surprising, occasionally exhilarating and sometimes beautiful world (especially the title track) of Midwich Assembly.

Just when you think you've pegged their music - neo prog with elements of Pink Floyd meets... they throw in a surprise with the insistent 80s-style rocker 'Stranger Than', or offer grandiose, gothic-tinged rock reminiscent of The Damned at their most commercial.

It's this willingness to experiment and a consistent ability to offer unexpected musical twists and turns, both intriguing and enchanting…

Watch a 7-hour train ride through Norway set entirely to electronic music

The Norwegian documentary Bergensbanen details the gorgeous 300-mile, 7.5-hour-long train ride from Bergen to Oslo. An intrepid group of DJs have scored the entire journey, which traverses the frozen region of Finse (a.k.a. Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back).

Bergensbanen aired last year on Norway's NRK2. The documentary's creators encouraged artists to remix this footage of the Bergen Line, and DJs at the DI.fm forums have scored the entire ride with a pulsing, 7.5-hours DJ…
