MIXED MEDlA TERRA NOVA - DEGREE
SHOW SELECTION
Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow, until Sat 14 Sep 0000
The degree show proper can end tip being sOinethiiig of a blur what with the sheer volume of work on display. the hemldering array ot mediums and methods and the relatively tight space it's all crammed into. Which is where the Terra Nova comes in: 2/1 graduates; given room to breathe in the Mackintosh Gallery.
It might he that extra space that makes the painters stand out. Michael Hill Johnston rein/(irks screen-gratis from 80s cinema and television. making innocent scenes uneasy. Gordon Curtis is equally impressive. making a sort of dispassionate survey of a caravan park in oils. while Blair Thompson goes in for abstracts that manage to he contemplative and weighty at the same time. Katri Walker's sculpture and Video vignettes also fare well in a quieter context. satirically apiiig moVie special effects. turning the tricks of the cinema trade into mundane events.
Of the enVironmental arts graduates. two of the most metiiorahle are here — George Gray. with his translucent plastic constructions and Kate Brassington's coloured pencil archive and Video piece -— but both sufter slightly Willi their original installations
