Product Description
Art in Mind traces Luke Jerram's research and practice during the last ten years, focusing on his investigations and experiments into the creation of artwork for the edges of perception. Rather than a concise chronological history of his work, Art in Mind is an accessible discourse that through anecdote, observation and journal provides a fresh and intimate insight of the artist and his process. Unveiling his own dreams and visions in works such as Retinal Memory Volume and Sky Orchestra, the artist goes on to explore dream space itself as a territory for making art in the Dream Director. Art in Mind includes contributions by; Gina Czarnecki - Artist Dr. Chris Alford - Sleep Psychologist, University of West of England Dan Jones - Composer Amanda McDonald Crowley - Executive Director, Eyebeam, New York City Dr. Tom Rice - Sleep Anthropologist Juliet Rix - Journalist, The Times
About the Author
Luke Jerram designs artworks that deliver an experience to unusual perceptual territories. Retinal Memory Volume makes sculpture work using retinal after images, whilst Sky Orchestra involves lifting people into the creative space on the edge of sleep using surround sound played from hot air balloons flown over a city at dawn. Sky Orchestra launched the Sydney Festival in January 2007, and was commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company over Stratford-upon-Avon to mark its Complete Works Festival in June 2006. As well as the Clark Bursary, he has previously been awarded a NESTA fellowship and completed an AHRC Arts and Science Fellowship at UWE.
