Stewart Home 1980s Gallery Installations

Slides from the shows "Ruins of Glamour/Glamour of Ruins" at Chisenhale Gallery (London, December 1996) and "Desire In Ruins" at Transmission Gallery (Glasgow, May 87), with footage from Refuse at Galleriet Läderfabriken (Malmö, October-November 1988); these were collective shows featuring Stewart Home, Stefan Szczelkun, Gabrielle Quinn, Tom McGlynn, Andy Hopton, Art In Ruins (Hannah Vowles & Glyn Banks), Denise Hawrysio, Ed Baxter and Simon Dickason (Quinn and McGlynn only participated in the first show, Hawrysio only participated in the third of these shows, Szczelkun dropped out after doing the first two). This was put together in 1988 at the same time as the Refuse video, see also the comments on that.

What's the soundtrack on this?

[stewarthome]

the sound we used for our collective installation in Malmo, for which there is an individual video....

[stewarthome]

Groovy!

[situazionauta]

Stewar you're such a poser

[partisan4]

Load of pretentious wank.....

[stewarthome]

you can glam stomp all over the opening....

[demafenetre]

but now I've got my boots on you gotta let me curate you baby!

[stewarthome]

Yeah but if you ask me it was Kwik Save closing that really screwed it... man the eighties was really like the peak for Kwik Save... gimmie more of their budget cheddar baby!

I explain on the comments on one of my other videos that I've been banned from the offices of Life magazine for excessive use of whoopee cushions, hand buzzers and fake dog poo, not to mention calling the assistant editor's hand rolled cigars effeminate.... and they would relent even after I explained I used effeminate to me spirited and hamster like!

[stewarthome]

Yes that's a lot better! Thanks!

The heart's gone right out of the gallery installation market since Kwik Fit came on the scene

But wait a minute. A lot of people don't know who Damien Hirst is (I met one only this afternoon and he's come home with me this evening) so perhaps the whole thing should read "Makes TV's Damien Hirst look like an chimp who's been taught (by humans) to make bad conceptual art. I put the humans bit in there just to clarify.
