It’s been quite an exhausting few days, Thursday I took the excuse to pop to Glasgow and visit Tramway – amazing space! Not so sure about the film I saw there though, somewhere between artsy video essay and docu-drama, hmmm, reserving judgement. Then back to Edinburgh working at the Toby Patterson exhibition at the Fruitmarket. I love the Perspex maze, standing in it is a bit like being in some kind of early nineties videogame. His paintings layer themselves up around you; a web that you slowly and laboriously work your way round trying to separate one image from another. Gallery assistant work is not the most interesting of jobs, you spend a huge amount of time staring into space then pouncing on anyone who looks like they can be bullied into talking to you. If that fails there is always the task of shouting at small children as they head work-ward brandishing sticky hands. This exhibition has the added bonus of looking like a kids climbing frame! In summary, not much work made but got a few ideas now. I’ve found a nice shelf design, maybe I should make that first and then decide what to put on it!
