MATERIALS in virtual gallery

  • david ian bickley

Hello friends, fellow artists and curators — in these most strange, yet bizarrely liberating times we have all been forced to explore new avenues of communication, especially artists and musicians whose work is now somewhat distanced from their audience. In conjunction with Alchemy Electronic Arts I now have the pleasure of launching my first exhibition in the Alchemy Solo Gallery — https://publish.exhibbit.com/gallery/56030587/solo-gallery-16858/ this is a full showing of my 2013 piece MATERIALS made with the help of the Art Council of Ireland. Originally shown in galleries around the world as one complete immersive film it is here shown in its six constituent parts. In the gallery (please note this is an experiment in presentation so it might take a small while to load and might not work on all devices — but please let me know if not) you should be able to navigate around the five walls in a number of different ways; just click on an image or use the controls shown below. Here you will see five stills, one from each part of the film, by clicking the down arrow at the top right of each one (see below) you will be able to view information about the piece, (some works also have the option to buy from the [S]edition art platform). If you click this arrow back up, you will then have access to a link, to the left of this arrow, which will take you to a HD version of the piece. I do hope you enjoy this work, there is a strong thread of peace and spiritual resonance running through it which might be just the ticket — for this crisis is just in our part of this world — the clouds are still moving, the trees swaying and the birds are still singing.
