' God Given Light ' Opening
Thanks to everyone who came to the opening of 'a God given Light' the Mark Campbell & Craig Peacock exhibition that took place yesterday afternoon, and also thanks to John Ferry of GOMA for the great photos he took.
A God Given Light
The WhiteHouse presents as part of the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art 2010:
'A God given Light'
Site specific work based on the theme of light created by artists
Mark Campbell & Craig Peacock.
Mark Campbell has made a greenhouse out of stained glass and neon text connected with modern religious ideoligies and the visual media children grow up with and the God given right each believes they have.
Craig Peacock deals in the visceral perception of place, where personal emotive thought is contextualised through drawing and paint. His work seeks a sense of the spiritual, without a premise to any specific religion.
The exhibition is installed in Burrell House, the former shipping magnate and art collector William Burrell's family residence.

WhiteHouse Relocating
The WhiteHouse is no longer operating from the Washington premises due to lack of support and short sightedness from the management of the building and will be putting on shows in the New Year, so we will let you know when and where in the near future.
We would like to thank all of you who have supported our short existence and look forward to more of the same in the New Year.
If you are an Architect or Building Management and would like to offer us use of any interesting spaces please get in touch. x

INDIVIDUALS
Sebastien Marciak
17th Oct - 31st Oct
Preview Friday 16th Oct
7-10pm.
All welcome.
The White House are delighted to be hosting young French artist Sebastien Marciak's work, which comprises large wall constructed prints with video and floor installation pieces.
Here he describes a little of the work:
'Taking inspiration from the violence and noise of the «crash tests», Individuals raises a paradox:
Immersing the spectators in a dark but silent and contemplative atmosphere by confronting them
with a series of works that play on physical impact.
The reference to Anthropomorphic Test Devices (known as crash test dummies) serves as a pretext
to emphasize the individual aspect of the human body and to show its fragile condition.
Although industrially produced, they reveal here their uniqueness.
I would like to thank Mark Campbell from the White House Glasgow
for hosting the show and also the Market Gallery and the Glasgow Print Studio for their great help.'
