Marjolaine Ryley Growing Up In The New Age
Until 3rd June 2012



Growing up in the New Age explores ideas of memory, history, familial relationships and archival narratives. It is an ongoing journey through the fascinating subject of alternative education and philosophies of the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s including pacifism, anarchism, counter-culture, left wing politics, women's rights and 'new age' ideas. Drawing on her own life growing up in the 1970s and 80s and her parents experiences, from their initial meeting in a commune in the south of France, she uncovers the early formulation of their ideologies, set against the backdrop of political and cultural happenings of the 1960s and early 1970s.

DATA - Daily Action Time Archive
A self-historification project by Pete Horobin
Until - 3rd June 2012




DATA  was the brainchild of Dundee artist Pete Horobin - who in terms of Scottish art was a pioneer - who linked his practice which was firmly rooted in Scotland, with the European and American post-Fluxus avantgarde. The DATA project involved documenting 10 years of his life on a daily basis, from 1st January 1980 to 31st December 1989, using art, film, audio recordings, journals, photography and a few other methods to construct a significant time capsule of compulsive creativity. The project was based in The Attic in Dundee, an open laboratory for like-minded artists who he collaborated with, locally and from many national and international locations, and this also existed as an important archive - a space where lots of artwork was produced and stored, but a place that was visited by a select few. The Attic Archive in Union Street in Dundee, closed down in 2011, the contents of which have since been distributed far and wide.
