The Iona Gallery, Kingussie, Inverness-shire
Exhibition: 4-16 November 2002
Open Mon-Fri 1-5pm Sat 10am-12pm. Admission free
What happens when urban realism and rural romanticism collide?
An exhibition featuring seven artists invited to respond to the
physical and social environments in the Cairngorms through
residencies in the area during Summer 2002.
Thomson & Craighead will exhibit new work 'The Price of Freedom' - a
modified book form appropriating lines from John Barbour's epic poem,
'The Bruce', as domain names offered for sale; and 'Making a case for
the twinning of Newtonmore and Las Vegas', an open public letter
accessible online.
r a d i o q u a l i a's 'listening_stations' project resulted from a
residency at makrolab - a temporary art and science laboratory
located near Blair Atholl during the summer of 2002. The work is part
of ongoing research to make audible via an online radio station
astronomy signals intercepted from space, including the planet
Jupiter and the Sun.
Simon Fildes and Katrina McPherson, both based in Newtonmore, are
showing a number of projects including an interactive sound
sculpture, web-journeys and found objects inspired by the A889 road
from Dalwhinnie to Laggan, dubbed 'the most dangerous road in
Britain'.
Cavan Convery, presents 'Ground Truth' - an on-line Geographical
Information System of data, collected by a remote roving platform
that records images and sound, overlaid on an extraordinary 3-D
contour map of the Cairngorms offering sentimental personal
discoveries.
Following the exhibition, the works can be experienced as part of
