Furtherfield on ResonanceFm

THOMSON & CRAIGHEAD are being interviewed on Resonance FM this Tuesday evening by Marc Garrett and Charlotte Frost. As far as we know it’s a live program, so that should add a certain unpredictability to proceedings especially as we have no idea what they’ll be asking us! The other guest on the show is Corrado Morgana and if you’re not near a radio for the live show then the podcast can be downloaded here later on in the week.

One Thing and Another in 2007, a top ten from Steve Dietz

bighomemoviefigure.jpg
I asked Steve Dietz, Artistic Director of ZERO1 and former Walker New Media Curator if he would prepare a top ten list for our roundup. Steve is busy these days, but he managed to indulge and put together a list, if a little late. Thanks, Steve. — Ed.

I’ve never really understood Top Ten or “Best of” lists. Can’t we all just get along? Probably it’s just some kind of Walter Mondale self-loathing gene, but really, who cares if yet another person does – or doesn’t – think Matthew Barney is the greatest living vaseline artist of his generation…..>

Multiplicities at ARC Projects, Sofia, Bulgaria

15 December 2007 – 26 January 2008

Multiplicities is the first group exhibition at ARC Projects featuring half the current roster of sixteen artists – four based in the UK and four in Bulgaria. This is the first exhibition in a Sofia gallery for mid-career international artists Susan Collins, Alec Finlay, Thomson & Craighead and Mare Tralla. This is also the first occasion their work will be seen alongside that of their Bulgarian peers Luchezar Boyadjiev, Alla Georgieva, Ivan Moudov and Kamen Stoyanov.

“Multiplicities” is a term borrowed from mathematics, which speaks of the condition of being multiple, the relation between a number of identical objects or entities; It has also been used by theorists Gilles Deleuze and Manuel DeLanda to describe how our perceptions of reality change through time, in a constant flow of variety and heterogeneity at a single point in space. Multiplicities can encompass the relationship between original artwork and copy, but also how artists transform supposedly fixed meanings during the process of viewing the work.

Multiplicities showcases new and recent works, all multiples and limited editions, including prints, objects, Internet transmissions, and photographs. The exhibition captures the multifaceted approaches of contemporary artists to traditional genres such as the treatment of landscape, the self-portrait and the still life, or abstraction. Multiplicities also reveals the artists’ commentaries on the historical legacy of movements including Dada, Pop, and Socialist Realism. Works include a re-enactment of Vera Mukhina’s iconic sculpture from 1937; Self-portraits as Lenin; Fortune teller readings from cups of Turkish coffee; A hybrid of carnation and electric fan; Sexually suggestive cushions; Decorative live Internet newsfeeds; The visual cacophony of contemporary Moscow; Colonies designed for different species of bird; Webcam images of the quintessential Scottish landscape.

ARC Projects, 4th Floor, Boulevard Vitosha 90, 1463 Sofia, Bulgaria

Multiplicities is from 15 December 2007 – 26 January 2008
Exhibition open Wednesday – Saturday, 3 – 8 pm
