Andalucía: A Personal Photographic Series

 
“My object is merely to give the reader a general introduction into an abode where, if so disposed, he may linger and loiter with me day by day until we gradually become familiar with all its localities.”- (Washington Irving, Tales of the Alhambra) 



















  “Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain”- (John Masefield, Beauty)



                                                 Resettled from Russia: Kadinksy alongside Malevich's Suprematism in Malaga's new modern art museum 



















                                                    Granada's own, lost and found

                      I was advised by our Spanish guide to take a photo of this statue from "a more appeasing viewpoint" and block out the 'Bauhaus' styled tower block flats behind. Yet I took it anyway to appease myself and my increasing love of unorthodox composition, in an attempt to abate this architectural fissure in Granada. The stateliness of the statue seemed to be creating a strong counterpoint with its flagged backdrop as a mark of a synthesis of patriotism from both past and present Spain. 

                                    Ni Una Menos, Not One Less- "No more machista violence"




















“It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal tragedy.” - (Albert Camus)

Exhibition Review: Cello Players, Headless Sheep and Contemporary Pastoralism

“But where to turn? Earth endures After the passing, necessary shame Of winter, and the old lie Of green places beckons me still From the new world, ugly and evil, That men pry for in truth's name.” ― R.S. Thomas , Song at the Year's Turning Descend the stairs of the ‘Centre Pompidou Malaga’ and you enter a counterintuitive space that detaches itself from any natural light, which for a gallery you’d think to be essential. However, this subterraneous architectural decision creates a kind of liminal space, initially capturing a sterility before it transforms into a message concerning the nature of modern society. Nothing bursts out, seizes or ‘hits you hard’; all is synthetic and appeals to a cold linearity. The exhibition is uninterested in historical or stylistic compartmentalisation as the favourable method of many gallery spaces; the guidance it provides for visitors is wholly sensory. It demonstrates a hybridity of cinematography, auditory and static art ...

'What's in a name?'

I have decided to name this blog ‘To Be Looked at (from the Other Side of the Glass)’ taken from Marcel Duchamp’s reactionary piece to Leonardo Da Vinci’s “pyramid of vision” in his ‘ A Treatise on Painting’. Its full title is ‘To Be Looked at (from the Other Side of the Glass) with One Eye, Close to, for Almost an Hour’. Duchamp inscribed this directive on the work (in French:  A regarder d’un oeil, de près, pendant presqu'une heure ), written in the infinitive in order to achieve viewer interactivity. He said the title is "intended to sound like an oculist’s prescription," instructing the viewer precisely how to look at it. But the crux of the piece lies in not how only the viewer engages with it visually, but the viewer and work’s interdependence. It is a violation of artistic traditionalism; art becomes no longer an isolated, purely aesthetic ‘subject’ to be regarded and appreciated at distance. Looking through the convex lens centred in the work’s glass “for al...

Exhibition review: Surrealism at the Tate St Ives

Image
Whilst visiting the ‘Tate St Ives’ it was interesting to see that amid the examples of naïve art with their more rudimentary expressions of perspective, and Hepworth’s sculptural forms, were some Dali-esque surrealist pieces. Centred in an environment where the art work is positioned to complement its coastal surroundings, often with a quietude that reflects more classical painting techniques, the idiosyncrasy of the gallery spacing allowed the surrealist art to juxtapose its naturalistic neighbours. Sir Roland Penrose’s ‘ Le Grand Jour’ was intriguing. Penrose himself had connections to Cornwall yet unlike the modernist, earthy formations by Hepworth drawn from the geographical textures of the landscape, he found exhilaration and urgency. In the painting Penrose delineates how structural mapping in art can invoke a synthesis of unrelated subjects; perhaps it is this geometry in the work that urges a viewer to psychologically forge these interrelations between ‘fish’ and ‘ringma...
