Exhibition Commentary: In Dreams I

I'm super excited to be introducing a new dimension to Elusive Isolation. Just before Campbell took down his recent exhibition 'In Dreams I', I caught up with him and captured an artist commentary. Like a director's commentary that you may find on one of your dvds, this allowed Campbell to talk me through a quick tour of his show. It's interesting to hear what he has to say and will hopefully provide an interesting record of the exhibition for some time to come.

Since 'In Dreams I' uses predominantly visual mediums, I took along a camera as well and recorded the journey in High Definition. It's all done in one take, handheld, no tricks, simple and pure.

You can watch it below... or even better... Watch it here in HD and see the smallest imperfections in the canvases. If you would like to download it to keep instead, go to the video's page and follow these instructions for Vimeo newbs.



How did Campbell score such special treatment? It's simple, he is a valued contributer to this blog.

Everyone should totally do one of these.
James, I'd love to have you on board to be able to do these for any exhibiting artists who exhibit at Freerange in the future.
Documentation is so crazy important, and video documentation is something that isn't really going on in Perth. At least not this type.

You can embed the video in your blog as well. A link back to this site to go with it would be appreciated as well.

When the video is playing, mouse over the vision and on the top right hand side is a list of buttons. One is an embed button which will give you the code to embed it in your site.

I'm also looking forward to getting the Elusive Isolation podcast going and having people from Freerange on the show to discuss what is going on.
