The press of Heather & Ivan Morison Publication: Headline: Selected editorial: Gavin Wade, the curator of Spectator T, the extensive arts festival taking place in such Sheffield venues as Bloc Space, Site Gallery, S1 Artspace, Yorkshire Artspace and the Millennium Galleries, was certainly asking for it. Spectator T, more intimately know as Tony T, the imaginary lone audience for the festival, is envisaged as a model of plebeian indifference. So how will artists produce work to cater for Tony's apathetic disregard? Well, come and see artists such as Joanna Rajkowska, Ivan and Heather Morison, Gordon Dalton and Camilla Lyon present an artist-for-rent, a forest of Siberian taiga planted in a city centre wasteland, a sculptural replica of a Harley Davidson and Blackpool Tower reconstructed from sparklers. A daftness of dumbing down or an ambivalent engagement with the iniquities of contemporary culture? Decide for yourself, indeed, if you can be bothered. _RC | |
