Masters

Due to techiecal difficulties (ie a broken laptop charger) it's been rather quiet round here lately. But I have now returned to the blogging world starting with a little look at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design Masters show.

'Big Fat Super Hero' by Andrew MacVicar

Ross and I enjoyed a nice day off with a wander around the show. We made sure we had plenty of time to have a good look at everything and managed to watch all of the Animation & Visulisation films.  My favourite had to be Mark Haldane's 'Conflicting Ideas'.  Not just because I recognised one of his characters from my visit to the degree show last year but also because the theme of the film is so familiar.

We then moved around to the Fine Art section where I really enjoyed Andre MacVicar's sculptures. A great mixture of comedy and tragedy and I was very impressed with the little zine he'd put together about the work he was exhibiting.

 

I also liked Michael Mcleod's work. It was suitably dark and strange and worked very well exhibited in it's own little space at the top of the stairs. 

 

Although there wasn't much else that stood out to me in the show, I did enjoy looking at all the different ideas in the Master of Design section.  The one that interested me the most was Sharyn Farnan's '+makespace'.  I'm always a fan of utilising unused spaces for creative means and would love to see the idea taken forward.
