Simon Faithfull UK
Simon’s drawings and installations have been in numerous international
solo & group exhibitions over the last seven years. His practice as
an artist has been as varied and unstable as some of his experiments,
ranging from installations such the Hertford Union (where he punctured
the Chisenhale Gallery’s wall to pump in water from the unseen canal)
to video works such as 30Km (which uses a camera attached to a weather
balloon to record a journey from his face to the edge of space). The other
side to his practice utilises a Palm Pilot as a crude drawing device that
enables digital sketches to be made in situ and dispatched out to the
world via email or the web, the Palm Pilot as a psychogeographer’s
mapping tool. He undertook a two month journey to Antarctica from which
he is sent back a drawing a day via email. This and other film work made
in Antarctica formed a national touring exhibition.
