My latest conversation with Mark Dunhill has gone live at http://creativedialog.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/cre…
Go there to hear my 30 min chat with Mark about his show Stone Appreciation #2. Mark is one half of the collaborative partnership Dunhill and O’Brien.
Mark has worked with Tamiko O’Brien since 1998 making exhibitions, installations and residencies. Combing art practice with busy schedule teaching. He is now Dean of Art at Central St Martins. Together (Dunhill and O’Brien) they have exhibited in galleries and project spaces in the UK, Ireland, Holland, Italy, Germany and Japan.
I found out that he had long connection with Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust (featured in last weeks episode), having a connection with the trust since its very early days. He had exhibited in Tout Quarry in 1984; this show was in a way the birth of the trust. Mark has continued his connect with the trust and had discussed with Hannah & Paul about his using the space to try something out. They were happy to collaborate and help install the work. Spending a couple of weeks to adapt to the space and the materials.
Again this is another example of how doing this project has opened up doors and allowed me to have these privilege conversations with artists. I really wish to thank all the artists who have given up their time freely to talk to me and been so open and accessible in their conversations.
