ADVENT OF ART: STROUD GOODS SHED DEC 2016
Click on the image to see the canvas as it developed over the two weekends. We had over 200 contributions from passers by as well as professional artists Abigail Fallis, Tamzin Malleson and Alison Vickery. Thanks to all who took part; what an amazing evolving artwork it turned out to be! The original idea was to create a large shared piece of art with each contribution anonymous, so the canvas is built up by the silent communication between each participant. People entered a space with loads of art materials and a large wall-mounted board. They daubed whatever they felt on the board - often in response to previous contributions. After each go, a remote photo was taken of the board, thus recording the evolution of the artwork whilst separating each contribution from the participant to ensure anonymity. Those who wished could sign the artists' Bored of Fame outside the room.
MINCHINHAMPTON SCHOOL PLAYGROUND, 2012 - MURAL AND SCULPTURES
Part-funded by a grant from the SVA, Galina researched the social interactions, both parental and between children, in her own childrens' school playground at playtime, drop-off and pick-up times. Using scrap materials and paint from the Bristol branch of Scrapstore, which also supplies the school with playtime scrap equipment, she created a vibrant outdoor mural encapsulating the hectic environment, with its intermittent activity throughout the day. She involved school pupils in the project, asking them for commentary on the playground environment and holding workshops where the pupils created beautiful, interactive playground sculptures based on their experiences.
