Private View | Hey! Narcissus!

 On August 8th 2013 I went to Nigel Grimmer's private view at Studio 1.1 in Shoreditch, London. It was quite a beautiful place to hold an exhibition as on the journey you pass by all the originally graffitied street ways of Shoreditch. 

I particularly liked the undeveloped basic rooms of the venue, it worked really well with the work inside. It provided a contrast with the details of the Nigel Doll, particularly - Nigel's dollhouse, which had very small details of grass and garden ornaments. The dissimilarity between the plastic crafted dolls and the urban venue created quite a current split between the 'realistic' and 'reality' worlds that consume us. 

The show 'Hey! Narcissus!' included artists that were bringing the self portrait into question and started with the most self absorbed work, slowly moving itself over the weeks back into the real world away from 'mythopoeia' - the making of a myth. 

One of my favourite pieces of the theme was Nigel Doll marrying Nigel Doll. I thought this really expressed the term hey Narcissus well, possibly because it isn't just self-absorbed it could have also been a symbol of loving yourself. If worse comes to it, you've always got yourself and their obviously a great person! I thought the sculpture was humorous and well detailed. Another quality I liked was the large photographic prints duct taped to the wall. One from the Roadkill Family Album was a man hanging upside down, which I think really gave the idea of road kill just hanging there. 

I found the words printed on the wall fitted the theme well too, as it was not trying to convey a message about politics, art or the world to the viewer, instead it was sharing a persons life experience - a story that manages to convey its unique emotion with the viewer.
