Lifting. Theft in Art


Peacock Visual Arts
21 Castle Street
Aberdeen AB11 5BQ

25 August - 29 September, 2007
Curated by Atopia Projects

Lifting is a show at Peacock Visual Arts exploring instances when art gets in the way of what is considered "legal". The show creates an archive of historical and contemporary works of radical appropriation- how theft and vandalism are "lifted" from criminal behaviour and into the art sphere. The results are humourous and poignant revelations on the absurdity of the legal and social ideas of ownership, originality and copyright.

artstream: Holger Mohaupt

Jamaica

You can't take too little, but you can take too much.
Online as part of artstream.

Through sound, photography and moving image, Holger Mohaupt explores perceptions of Jamaican culture, based on the recipes of a local cook.

The work is part of a collaboration between Graham Fagen and Holger Mohaupt. Both artists went to Jamaica to make new pieces of work: Graham Fagen for an exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow to commemorate the abolition of slavery 200 years ago; and Holger Mohaupt to make a piece of work exploring the manifestations of current culture in Jamaica.
