MICK PETER
"Yussupov Park"
Private view: Friday 26th January 2007, 6.30-9pm
Open Friday-Sunday, 12-6pm, and by appointment
Remaining open until Sunday 4th March 2007
For this solo show Mick Peter presents a body of work derived from his interest in monumental sculpture and emblems of stupidity. The objects in the show propose pairs of personalities as scratchy paradoxes in lumpen matter. Comprised of drawings and sculpture the work adopts the demented impulse driving the fabrication of urban amenities and public sculpture that leads people to choose to congregate amongst dirt, bad smells and every kind of abomination.
Mick Peter is a Glasgow-based artist, born in 1974, who gained his MA from Glasgow School of Art in 2000, and his BA (Hons) from the Ruskin School of Fine Art, Oxford, in 1997. Amongst others recent projects include ‘Like It Matters’, a group show at the CCA, Glasgow (2005), and a solo show at Transmission Gallery, Glasgow (2006). Peter was featured in New Contemporaries in 2000, and is a contributing writer to Frieze and Untitled magazines. A publication made with Transmission with an essay by Dan Fox is forthcoming.
