</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Removed from the Eyes of Strangers</i> brings the work of four emerging British artists -Rachel Goodyear, Matt Lippiatt, Wendy Mayer, Pete Smith- to MRA Project Space. This is the final leg of the international exhibition, following a tour of Galleri Andersson/Sandström in Umeå, northern Sweden, and Co-Lab. in Copenhagen, Denmark.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Removed from the Eyes of Strangers</i> is the culmination of a four-year research project. We asked these artists to develop new work that draws inspiration from the writings of Sigmund Freud, especially in relation to his seminal essay ‘The Uncanny’. Although there have been many exhibitions focusing on this theme, Removed from the Eyes of Strangers is unique in that it has supported new commissions that do more than simply reference Freud’s theory. <br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The final exhibiting artists attempt to engineer a visceral, physical uncanny occurrence that causes the viewer to momentarily question their preconceptions of the material world. Each artist subtly alters domestic objects, revealing how we can still be terrorised by the slightest shift in our perceptions.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pete Smith came out to Umeå to put together the components of <i>Bedsitter</i>, his pre-exisitng mechanical installations, and to build a new piece for the exhibition at Galleri Andersson/Sandström. The new artwork is called <i>Susan</i> and below is an explanation of the piece by the artist:</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"On a visual level, the straight line of the coals is almost like stealing a Richard Long and making it in miniature; the train tracks create a drawn line, as the placement of the track becomes equally as important as any drawn line would be. Landscape and architecture inform my work in many respects. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When standing before a piece of Baroque architecture, the really beautiful sculptural elements of the building are hidden from the view at ground level, you see a ledge up high and can only imagine what is beyond.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Within the crate portion of <i>Susan </i>there is a sense that the really beautiful aspects are obscured from view, hidden inside the crate. </span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The train and the crate work in conjunction with each other but also with the surrounding space, and this sense of interaction runs through all my works. The straight line of the railway track and the train attempting to penetrate the crate's exterior, as well as the ambiguous delights that may be hidden inside the opaque crate have led many people directly to a sexual explanation of the piece. However, with all my work, I would reinforce the fact that the artwork is primarily about communication, and sex only becomes a part of this because it is a facet of human interaction. Each of my artworks are about blending the line between the human and the machine - the repetitive and mechanical element involved will always carry sexual undertones, which serves only to add to the human nature of each piece." <br />

The gallery is located </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">just outside Umeå, </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">in Umedalen, an area that used to be a sanatorium - the gallery itself functioned as the compound's boiler room.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghGcDFbfP_wbzpfMvP0ywYZ-zbL3jjPMX7p-_ZLweMz5BbXX4lh8WYr32niGye_epkUh2ivyaE3RPl-FkLSg2MA_IlaihGEjYuy7p7q_I_DrqgStc7B6t9IffDqkEpkJjnhbXsZuSZ9Q/s1600-h/gsa+exterior.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghGcDFbfP_wbzpfMvP0ywYZ-zbL3jjPMX7p-_ZLweMz5BbXX4lh8WYr32niGye_epkUh2ivyaE3RPl-FkLSg2MA_IlaihGEjYuy7p7q_I_DrqgStc7B6t9IffDqkEpkJjnhbXsZuSZ9Q/s320/gsa+exterior.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Matt initially approached Andersson/Sandström with the proposal for Removed from the Eyes of Strangers as Umedalen's history seemed to perfectly fit the subject at the core of the exhibition. Context aside, the gallery itself is a beautiful but dominating white space, which makes for a stark contrast with some of the sculptures in the exhibition, most of which are small domestic objects that have been altered in some way, whilst retaining their original size and shape.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Galleri Andersson/Sandström is the second most Northern gallery in the world, and during our stay the weather has been consistently below freezing! Umedalen also boasts Europe's only cultural spa, where visitors are encouraged to view artwork whilst exercising, rather than watching a television. I'm sure this is one of the reasons that Umeå has recently been selected as European Capital of Culture for 2014.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The surrounding forest is home to several sculptures, which were initially displayed in the sculpture park but are now a permanent feature after being purchased by Baltic Gruppen, the real estate company that owns the buildings in Umedalen. Many of the artworks are hidden away, and are left undiscovered until you revisit the area for a second or third time. I took a (cold) walk around the area with Matt Lippiatt yesterday morning and we photographed some of the sculptures we came across on our way.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: small;">"This morning we were visited by foundation students from the Umeå Konstskola. It was a great opportunity for us to get some early reactions to the exhibition. Some of the students had read the stories about our show published today in the local papers, so they already knew a little background about my work and the decision not to screen the video here due to its sexual content.</span><br />
</div><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We watched the video with the students, and had an interesting discussion about art and pornography. Umea's young people are a smart and thoughtful crowd!"</span><br />

We are creating this blog in order to share our experiences of realising the first international touring exhibition organised by Matt Roberts Arts. Our organisation encourages emerging artists and arts administrators to evolve their practice, and we hope that through this blog we can involve as many people as possible in the process of exhibition development.<br />
