"Eastbound - Along Bath Lane, Glasgow" by: Michael Wurstbauer

Vitrine_MichaelWurstbauer-4

-Atopia is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition on its Vitrine with the work of Michael Wurstbauer.

-Michael Wurstbauer was born in Munich, 1975 and studied Fine Art Photography at the Glasgow School of Art (BA, 2003). He works mainly with time-based media in an investigation of mental states, subjectivity and repetition. His video works have been shown in numerous festivals across Europe, and he lives and works in Glasgow.

-“Eastbound – Along Bath Lane, Glasgow” brings the location of Atopia into a visual confrontation with the alleys leading to downtown Glasgow at night. This is an interaction that makes the Vitrine into a crossroad for two modes of urban spaces and two singular times.
The four video works of Wurstbauer are made with stop-motion animation technique. His camera gradually moves through the alleys and takes us on a silent journey through the hidden paths of Glasgow. Here the vacant backstreets of the city assume a restless movement, and a sense of anxiety fills up their emptiness.

-The work is visible from the street everyday from 15:00 until the next morning (4-18 Feb 2010).

-Atopia’s Vitrine is a project for experimenting with video art in the public space.
