Sci-lence of Man came about through a project offered to the graduate artist Lee Gascoyne as part of the MADE FRESH series of exhibitions initiated by University Campus Barnsley. Lee was invited to create, develop and lead an exhibition in collaboration with undergraduates at UCB as well as existing practitioners. During the developmental stages those invited and able to be part of the project were Richard Turner and David Jarvis. As an extension of this collaboration, an alliance with the curator of the Hive Gallery and DMC was needed in order to bring the exhibition to fruition. The concept for Sci-lence of Man, including its physical construction was developed and created by the three artists Lee, Richard and David. The piece is an installation that invites the gallery goer to be part of the artwork itself, to interact and enter into the world that has been created. The theme is distinctly masculine, but not misogynistic. In fact, it is quite the opposite, being more suggestive or condemning than prescriptive. Sci-lence of Man opens at d-space within the Digital Media Centre in Barnsley on 5th March 2012 and runs till 27th April. The Private Viewing will be held on Thursday 8th March 2012. Please contact the artists should you wish to attend. All are welcome.
