‘This is
Now: from Drawing to Contexture’
Stephen Hunter, Beware The Wrath
of Demons, (Installation) 2006
Festival
Exhibition of the Scottish Tapestry Artists Group
(STAR*)
This
is an ambitious, visually-exciting exhibition, which
aims to reveal the artistic process from the initial
drawings and first ideas to the final work of art.
These final structures and drawings will be supplemented
by individual artists’ showcases/boxes revealing the
journeys from concept to concrete conclusion.
Jo
McDonald, Back To Where We Started, (Drawing) 2000
The
members of this recently-formed exhibition group (STAR*)
are all graduates of the Tapestry Department of Edinburgh
College of Art, where the work pushed the boundaries
of definition, moving from current fibre practice
to electronic media and installation, underpinned
by a strong emphasis on drawing. This exhibition will
show these crossovers and explore the links between
media as well as allowing the audience into the often-hidden
processes behind the realisation of the project. Some
of the artists work together; others remain determinedly
solo.
Linda
Green, Buoyancy, 2009
’This
is Now’ will demonstrate the excitement involved in
the creation of art, and gallery tours by the artists
and a series of short videos will increase the audience’s
understanding of the working process, and will allow
them to enter into a dialogue about the individual
creative impetus, interpretation and presentation
of the final artworks and installations.
