An American Conversation

Alex Frost, Karla Black
Private view: Friday 14 Feb 2003
6 pm Cooper Gallery, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design Exhibition runs from 15 Feb - 14 March 2003

Karla Black and Alex Frost are Glasgow-based artists who are exhibiting together for the first time. Their exhibition is a conversation around suggestion and game-play.

The work shown here comes out of a relationship between sculpture and performance. It references certain elements of American cultural history: the teaching practices of Black Mountain College; Max Factor; Happenings; Popular Psychology.

Central to the exhibition is a link between confusion and clarity, or solving problems.

The artists have been making all work in situ in the Cooper Gallery over a ten day period in the run up to the opening.
