GALLERY I & II
NO-HOW
Paul McDevitt, Nathaniel Mellors, Ellen Munro, Victoria Skogsberg, Michael Stumpf
17 Jan - 14 Feb 2004

Group show featuring five artists from Edinburgh, Glasgow and London presenting new works in a range of media across both gallery spaces.
Paul McDevitt‘s work is predominately drawings made in colour pencil, ballpoint and ink on paper. Paul’s complex and fluid drawings flow and sprawl in a way that alludes to the distracted scrawls found in an exercise book but taken to an obsessive extreme. Paul completed his MA at Chelsea College of Art, London in 2000, after which he was awarded the Saatchi Fellowship.
Made in a forest environment, Nathaniel Mellors’ new video work uses music and voice-over to play with tone, we are never sure to what extent he is attempting to undermine our reading of the film. Nathaniel is represented by Matt’s Gallery. He is also involved in various projects including a band, Skill 7 Stamina 12, who have just released their second single. Nathaniel lives and works in London.
Ellen Munro ‘s work often relates to memories and stories. Intuitively, she combines craft processes with found objects to recontextualise them and 'make them a bit punny'. Ellen is currently on the MFA course at Edinburgh College of Art.
Victoria Skogsberg makes video works that use the idea of afterimage to dramatic effect. In her most recent works this hinges on the appearance and disappearance of the human figure in both screen based and projection works. Victoria is Swedish, she currenly lives and works in Glasgow.
Michael Stumpf takes an improvisatory approach to materials in his pieces. He is interested in combining a number of elements to propose a narrative. These subtexts often suggest film reference points. Michael has exhibited in East 2003, Norwich Gallery. Michael is German, and currently on the Masters course in Glasgow on a DAAD grant.
