My first show’n’tell at Castlefield – I am an associate member (a christmas present).
I had just had a brief wander around the Cornerhouse at the Jamie Shovlin exhibition and my first impression was Zoe Belhoff: DREAMLAND The Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society and the Blackpool Chapter at the Grundy and my impression of that.
So an exibition about a re-make of a film that never existed reminded me of an exhibition of a made up chapter of a society that never existed.
The point being, one of the artists talking at Castlefield explained how the workmen repairing canal locks used modern materials to do the repair job but then re-instated the rusty parts to make it look real, more authentic, some kind of reverse, retro cosmetics.
The lines in the sand are constantly changing thats the consistent.
Finshed reading Breasts a natural and unnatural history (Florence Williams); research for The First Laugh (Aquatic Ape). The author does mention Elaine Morgan and later states …….”this being a specialized human infant, she can suck and breathe at the same time, unlike adults” p.176 as well as……
“One lesson is that the ‘cleaner’ you are – at least by the standards of consumer culture – the more contaminated you are” p.130
What am I going to propose for a launchpad exhibition at Castlefield?
