Exhibition ends Sun 13 May Walk-Through is a film installation which revisits the history of the pioneering art school where Entwistle studied in the late 90's, the California Institute of the Arts. Beginning as a tour of the campus, the film guides us through CalArts' history and the life of the school, from archive images of its design and construction, initiated by Walt Disney in the late 1960's to the present day. Taking the narrative form of a guided tour, Walk-Throughexamines the school's mission, its place in art history, and its flexible architecture, which was designed to facilitate its democratic philosophy. Slowly, however, the tour drifts into a fictional recreation of the 'Post-Studio' class developed by influential artist and teacher Michael Asher in which, instead of analyzing work, a critique of the 'Post-Studio' class itself starts to evolve. Walk-Through is co-commisioned by Tramway for Glasgow International Festival 2012, International Project Space, Birmingham and Cubbit Gallery, London Click here for more information on the exhibition. |
