9 November SIMON & TOM BLOOR
Simon & Tom Bloor's works and projects use a range of media including publications, drawing, sculpture and installation to investigate flawed idealism's and utopias. With an approach to research that has been described as more "magpie-like" than academic, their work reveals hidden connections and obscure histories. In addition to their collaboration together they are a part of the founding collective of Eastside Projects, Birmingham and are exhibiting a new commission at Modern Art Oxford this autumn.
I went to most of the Tuesday talks last year and really really enjoyed them and found they inspired my work and working ethos. I attended this talk because from the description i thought it may be able to inspire me ideas for the Mary Greg installation. I found the talk quite interesting,not amazing but they did go into public installation in open outdoor areas and working with establishments,using decayed industrial areas as inspiration for exhibited installations. I didn't understand the concepts of their work as well i wanted to but i was inspired to see inspiration in the simplest and most decayed industrial areas.
