William Furlong

Visual Enquiry. From Archive to Interview.

William Furlong.

British artist developed new concept in sculpture in 1970's and 80's. Audio arts. 1973.

Sound - reception and perception. Manipulates, choreographs and interprets sound - speech, dialogue, birds.
Try to transform the whole understanding of art.

Reflection

What started as an experimental idea has built up, created a form, and become a major collection. Almost retrospectively looking round and seeing that all these small things amount to something big, the archive has grown from a tape and a magazine into the solid evidence of an art movement, tracing the development of artists and facilitating their progress.


A research statement is a little different to other statements. I quite like that format. I have been recently writing statements for individual projects - thLongLine, theProgressiveImage and theViewergallery. A research statement is something else again I may adopt.
