Jeffs bits, bits and bobs of design collected from the internet and anywhere!

At the end of a long week of work I stumbled into the ‘Glamourie‘ exhibition with a colleague and was confronted with an array of crazy, intriguing and wonderful art pieces. A few quick snaps shown above… But if you do get to go to the show be sure to check out the dark mask hanging ominously on the wall.

“In Celtic magic a ‘glamourie‘ temporarily warps the normal aspect of an object or area. Through this magical agency a primitive shack may be transformed so as to appear as a lordly; rags might be temporarily glorified as resplendent robes, whilst leaves take the the semblance of silver and gold. In the art exhibition Glamourie, common themes will surface, as will applications of ritual, ceremony, reciprocity and appropriation; but none of these will have proscribed its content. We will be prevy to celebrations of the strange and pathetic, and to objects obsessive, mordant and morbid. One artwork may bleed into the next, whilst aesthetic and conceptual motifs are plucked from individual artists and fed back into the show. Glamourie seeks to appropriate and employ its constituent parts to fashion a entity wholly of its own atmosphere.” – Lewis Spence (paraphrased)
