Out of Sight, Out of Mind - the beauty of the brief

19/11/2013

Some of the first available images of a (very) temporary street exhibition this month. Perhaps "ephemeral" would be a better description, as very few are up for more than 2 or 3 days.

There's something great about that though. There's a sense of freedom in creating something that you know for "almost" certain will be destroyed. You no longer have the fear of damaging anything, or even of getting it wrong - you can simply do it again next time. Which, of course, doesn't necessarily mean that you don't do it right. If anything that audacity gives you a heightened sense of creative freedom, which in turn brings out the best in you.

To be continued... ;)

Ollos que non ven..

24/10/2013

Que prudente resulta ás veces ser imprudente.
E perseguir retos que outros ven inalcanzables.
Que posible é todo cando o único imposible é quedar de brazos cruzados.
Que grandes somos cando tomamos pequeñas decisións.
Que fortes cando a nosa única debilidade é o amor pola nosa terra.
Que poder ten un xesto cando significa unión, e una mirada cando significa firmeza.
Que maravillosa decisión a que pode decidir qué futuro crear.
E o teu corazón sente o que os teus ollos ven:
O noso futuro.
How wise it seems at times to be unwise.
And chase goals that others see unchaseable.
How possible things are when the only impossible is to remain with your arms crossed.
How great we are when we take small decisions.
How strong we are when our only weakness is our love for our land.
What strength in a gesture when it means union,
and in a look when it means certainty.
How marvellous the decision that decides which future to create.
And your heart can feel what your eyes can see:
Our future.

Ollos que non ven - round 1

22/10/2013

Comments

 
Inspired by various videos and exhibitions by French artist JR and his Inside Out movement, I have just started a new project which I'm tentatively calling "Ollos que non ven..." - meaning literally "Eyes that don't see.." in Galician. The meaning however, really only makes sense in the context of the expression "Ollos que non ven, corazón que non sente" (Eyes that don't see. Heart that doesn't feel), which is the equivalent of Out of Sight, Out of Mind in English.

No, it's not blind people but it does send a powerful message to the relevant people.

Unfortunately, I can't go into more detail for the time being because part of the project involves an element of anonymity.

What I can do is show you a few of the raw photos I've been taking and the different styles I've been playing around with.

Inside Out Project - an inspiration

20/10/2013

Comments

 
My latest project "Ollos que non ven" has been directly inspired by a now very famous French street artist called JR. I'd seen some work he did in the slums of Rio de Janeiro but it wasn't until a friend sent a video link of him being awarded the TED prize, and the presentation that followed, that I realised how to go about setting up my new initiative.

Here's the video.
So, although the project I'm undertaking is slightly different in the way I've decided to present it, what JR and his art did was to open my eyes all of a sudden to the potential of street exhibitions. Why not exhibit in the street? It's certainly the best place for people to see your work. It's certainly the most "democratic" way of presenting art to the public.

If you want to get involved in the Inside Out Project, take a look at their website here.
