Firstly, Richard Wilson - in the group crit the idea of of looking at space inside of things, space that you can't see (coming from me obscuring and blocking out text, space etc.) came up. Turning an object or view inside out, the inside on the outside. Wilson is an artist who's main concerns are concentrated around architectural volumes, illusionary spaces and perception. For the work above 'Turning the Place Over', he cut a 8 metre diameter disc from the wall of a building, attached it to a motor, which as it spins literally turns the building inside-out.
A video of this happening can be seen here (if the link works!)
Secondly, John Stezaker - relating back to some if the first cut-outs I did. Stezaker is an artist who mainly works in collage and pre-existing found images like postcards, film stills and photos from magazines etc. Layering and cutting out specific parts, revealing and hiding certain parts are integral. Additionally, the careful choice of imagery to echo or contrast with the main photo he starts with is key. Absolutely love these works, saw them at the Whitechapel earlier this year - very clever man!
