Tulpa: Allan Gardner & Sean Patrick Campbell
08 - 22 February
Launch Event: Friday 07 February, 6 - 8pm
Free & open to all
We’re surrounded by fear, fear is control.
The aesthetic language of control is built on fear.
The political language of control is built on fear.
Fear of imprisonment, fear of poverty, fear of ostracisation.
Fear is control and control is power.
Fear is supplanted by rage, there is conflict.
Following this conflict, control measures are tightened, and fear restores order.
Tulpa is a collaborative exhibition of works from Allan Gardner and Sean Patrick Campbell.
Press:
Allan Gardner (b.1992, Glasgow) is an artist and writer currently based in London and Leeds, having studied at Leeds Arts University and the Royal College of Art. His work explores the relationships between the personal, social, philosophical and psychological through the emancipation of aesthetic language. Working primarily in painting, collage and sculpture, his works reclaim and reposition imagery within a personalised visual codec.
Sean Patrick Campbell (b.1985, Greenock) is an artist currently based Glasgow, having studied at the Glasgow School of Art. Working primarily in photography (although regularly expanding into sculpture and moving image) Campbell’s practice is mired within the narrative of cultural myths. Campbell invokes the old Gods: challenging our rite to the landscape through the ritualistic re-presentation of memory, fiction and legend alike.
