Beagles and Ramsay
"House of the Rotting Flesh"
�
For this exhibition Beagles and Ramsay have produced a series of new works developing some central and longstanding themes within their practice.
Achieving immortality through surviving fatal scenarios, the propagation and bastardisation of Old Masters /contemporary artists techniques, �the effects of consumerism and hysterical celebrity worship and the re-enactment of urban and historical myths �placing the pair as the central protagonists have all been common concerns.
This new body of site specific works includes a glitterball skull, wall painting and the miniature severed heads of the artists displayed within a graffitied whale. ��The latter is set against a sumptuous recreation of an arctic ice landscape inspired by Casper David Friedrich and Moby Dick. ��
Beagles and Ramsay have recently exhibited at Gasworks Gallery, London and as part of the Zenomap project at the Venice Biennale. ��John Beagles is a part time lecturer in CVCS at Edinburgh College of Art and Graham Ramsay has recently launched his new Flying Pig import export business
There will be a commissioned text accompaniment by John Calcutt available at the exhibition.
