Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2003 23:13:23 +0100 Subject: HOST: Beagles and Ramsay - Unrealised Dreams New Media Scotland presents a new project for HOST: Beagles and Ramsay - Unrealised Dreams http://host.mediascot.org Beagles and Ramsay have produced books of drawings in the style of Leonardo da Vinci which outline a number of proposals for possible future artworks, public sculptures, exhibitions, foodstuffs and musicals. Originally a posterwork commissioned for Zenomap, a presentation of art from Scotland at the Venice Biennale 2003, Beagles and Ramsay have transformed Unrealised Dreams into an online hypertext archive of visionary ideas. This work for HOST forms part of the exhibition Welcome Back, at Stills Gallery, Edinburgh, 4 October - 21 December 2003. John Beagles and Graham Ramsay live and work in Glasgow and have exhibited together as Beagles & Ramsay since 1996. Their work encompasses installation, video and print publications, often constructed around character driven narratives where the artists cast themselves in absurdist roles or macabre situations. Recent exhibitions include: Dead of Night, at Gasworks Gallery, London & Collective Gallery, Edinburgh; Videodrome at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; Burgerheaven at YYZ Artist's Outlet, Toronto & De Fabriek, Eindhoven. HOST is a space on the New Media Scotland web site dedicated to projects by artists. Earlier projects also available to view on HOST feature a range of Scottish and international artists including Mike Stubbs, slateford, Katrina McPherson & Simon Fildes, *candy factory, Luci Eyers, Dane, Torsten Lauschmann, Lindsay Perth, Claude Closky and Roshini Kempadoo.
