Hi, I’ve been asked to make this list a friendlier place by introducing myself.
My name is Jim Hamlyn, I'm an artist and co-leader of Convergent Media ( with Colin Andrews) at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen. I also teach one day a week on the Fine Art Photography course at Glasgow School of Art. Before I go back to lurking I’d like to take this opportunity to invite you all to the Opening of Magnetic North at Peacock Visual Arts, Aberdeen: Magnetic North Curated by Colin Andrews and Jim Hamlyn 30 August - 11 October 2003 Private view Friday 29 August 6-8pm Exhibition tour and discussion with Colin Andrews and Jim Hamlyn Friday 10 October 6 - 7.30pm New Media Scotland HOST award and STILLS A year Later Residency Award presented by Iliyana Nedkova Friday10 October Info about Magnetic North: Magnetic North is a survey exhibition of electronic art selected from the Scottish Degree Shows by Colin Andrews and Jim Hamlyn. Drawing together a rich variety of work from an international gathering of artists, Magnetic North serves as a benchmark of the diversity and exceptional quality of work being made at the Scottish Art Schools. Including work by the controversial Alistair Wight (who caused consternation at the Royal Scottish Academy recently when he presented a large digital print detailing information and images about the exhibition judges), and Willow Tyrer (winner of the "Best in Show Award" at the Design and Art Direction Awards, London 2003), Magnetic North promises to be an engaging and inspiring insight into the field of new media art. As the first exhibition of its kind in Scotland, Magnetic North is already gaining interest from individuals and institutions both nationally and internationally. New Media Scotland is pleased to be able to take advantage of the exhibition as an opportunity to select and award their new 3Host2 prize, as are Stills who will award one residency prize and it is expected that Magnetic North will become an important annual event.
