Years ahead
Canadian artist Geoffrey Farmer is well known for producing large-scale mixed media works, comprising drawing, sculpture, photography and film characterised by meticulous research and conceptual rigour – traits D+CFilm has also become rightly famous for.
Farmer’s new body of work, going on show at Exeter’s Spacex from tomorrow (Saturday), takes as its starting point a book found lying on the street titled The Last Two Million Years.
The encyclopedia presents a description of the evolution of the earth leading up to the appearance of ‘Homo sapiens’ and the subsequent history of man from this time.
Farmer uses this chance starting point to tackle the larger themes of how we understand our existence in the world, how this is articulated through language and how this can have relevance to an individual. So, it’s ambitious then.
Hullo...
Thank you for reading. We could do with your help to keep going. All our content is free... But if you can, you can support us to continue bringing you this coverage, these articles, interviews and reviews. This connection with real indie filmmakers.
It's here we encourage you to get out, watch indie films, support crowdfunders, go to your local venue.
And if you can, Pay What You Can to keep all this going. From £1 a week - £4 a month - a fiver, or whatever you can spare. Much appreciated.
The exhibition runs until December 1 – by which time we’ll all be starting to think about Christmas. Cuh, it comes round so fast, etc.
