Recipe and Alien Methods

Recipes are often used in the family home to create interesting meals for the family - there are so many family meals to prepare 365 days a year.

As an avid cook and kitchen alchemist I often surprise the family with a new recipe – to interest both the family and myself in the daily ritual of family dinners. Whilst looking at recipe books, and thinking of my artwork for conceptual process I was taken by a family favourite recipe.

Using Alien Methods and also being uncreative I created the following artwork.

FAVOURITE FAMILY RECIPE

SERVES 4

500g PATIENCE, CUT IN HALF

2 T OF DREAMS

125 ml HOPE

80 ml HOLIDAYS

2 T TIME

4 x 150g ROUTINE

SMALL HANDFUL OF LAUGHS

A PINCH OF LOVE

A DASH OF IMPORTANCE

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Put the Patience in a large baking tray, drizzle with the dreams. Roast for 25 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy.

Meanwhile, stir together the Hope, Holidays and Time.

Heat a large frying pan, cook the Routine for 3 minutes, then turn over and cook for another minute. Remove from the pan and leave to rest for 3 minutes.

Spoon the Patience onto plates, dollop with the Hope dressing and scatter with Laughs and Love. Top with Routine and add a dash of Importance.

“For a happier version, repeat often”

Barry and I finally made it along to have a look at the Protest exhibition by students of City of Glasgow College at CCA. We nipped in for a coffee this afternoon; not exactly peak business hours, but it's a shame that the lights weren't on in the back area of the Terrace Bar where the prints are up. Hopefully they put them on in the evening.

Also, I was a bit disappointed to find that all the prints are squashed quite tightly into the back of the bar. When I exhibited as part of this same show last year, they were spaced a lot more liberally around more of the walls, and this time round it seems that CCA might've put some restrictions in place. It seems strange that during their flagship annual event, Document – the international human rights documentary film festival – that they wouldn't seize this chance to spread the images a bit thinner around at least the Terrace Bar, if not the whole venue. Again, a shame, particularly considering that there is a great deal of variety across the images and they make less sense so close to one another.

The quality of the work is pretty good though; I'm trying hard not to sound either too favourable or too critical, but predictably there's a mixture of good, clever work and some less original stuff; I personally think there could have been fewer images selected from a bunch taken at what looks like the same 'no cuts' protest, by a few of the photographers. But I guess that fits with the program of the festival, and some are good. The standout image for me was by Heather Muir – a striking portrait of a figure dressed as Batman, sitting on a rooftop corner. It was probably among the most subtly conceptual images of the show, and a bit funny too.

It finishes tomorrow, so if you do happen to get a chance to go along then you should. The bar serves good beers too (so I've been told).
