TweetIndeterminate Objects (Classrooms) is a work by award winning Scottish photographer Wendy McMurdo. The project continues her investigation into the relationship between children and computers, and is inspired by young people’s fascination with immersive digital environments such as Minecraft.
For this project McMurdo photographed a series of Victorian classroom interiors at a school near her home in Edinburgh. The traditional elements – desks, bookshelves, children’s drawings – are overlaid by a series of hypnotic geometric forms. As these 3D objects hover above the desks, they enter the space of the classroom, casting shadows on the floor which mingle with those of the room.
Combining still photography and animation, the project alludes to the co-existence and pervasive nature of these different spaces through which childhood is now experienced.
Exhibition runs through to December 17th, 2017

Approaching his 80th birthday, Hödicke’s early influences during the 1960s included filmmaking in New York to the role of artist-as-curator in Berlin, where he set up the influential ‘self-help’ gallery Großgörschen 35 with Marcus Lüpertz. He was subsequently a pioneer of German Neo-Expressionism and New Figuration with Baselitz, Immendorf and Penck. He was one of the main protagonists and drivers of the New Savages or Junge Wilde movement in 1978, which arose in the Germanspeaking world in opposition to established Minimal and Conceptual strategies. In this respect, Hödicke’s figuration, and his connection with various formal ‘networks’ in painting – as well as new social systems for small organisations represented by the model Großgörschen 35 – sit together with a tradition on pushing gesture and spectacle through expression. It’s important to consider that Hödicke’s main subject – the changing nature of Berlin – has been consistent for the last forty years. This is important, because, if the city of Berlin embodies history itself, then Hödicke’s pictures present not only a complex overlapping structure of alternative art historical and aesthetic time, they also show a subjective response to the ever-changing nature of political, social and economic world historical time.
