Tony Oursler - Uncanny Artwork
It was my intention to upload some images of work by Tony Oursler but Blogger won't let me, 'some errors have occurred' apparently. Anyhow, undetered;This American artist creates video sculptures using found objects, projection and audio. The work is classically uncanny in its frequent use of dismembered dolls and body parts such as projected images of disembodied heads and faces. The use of audio animates these inanimate objects creating a really uncanny and unsettling experience. Oursler has had several exhibitions of his drawings and is currently showing at several venues including the Metropolitan Museum and the Whitney biennial (neither of which I will be attending of course!)Sorry that I cannot post any images, there are loads on the net though. Google search on Tony Oursler and hit the images button if you are interested.

MA Drawing as Process
Dear All
Hope CCOD is going well, some interesting developments with your blogs.
I have your mentors set up, so I thought we could meet in the MA DAP studio on Wednesday 29th March, 10.30am to instigate this.
We will probably only need 30mins.
See you then
Amanda
Bill Prosser today mentioned the exhibition Eyes Lies and Illusions that was at the Hayward a year ago - because Christian Boltanski's work may be of interest to me - whilst I was looking at a review I saw that Tony Oursler was featured in the same exhibition.
Do you have the exhibition catalogue? It may be in the Kingston library, if not.
