Art Night - 24th June 2023
The Hi-Visit is a participatory installation at Dundee’s legendary artist-run exhibition and project space. The work, by Dundonian artist Inefficient Solutions, manifests as a photo opportunity which promises to “raise your personal profile and expand your portfolio of public engagement”.
GENERATOR is transformed into an industrial setting that offers several potential benefits to participation. Participants might convey a sense of working hard, by being photographed in a hard work environment; they might prove they are just an ordinary person by wearing a fluorescent yellow bib, or show responsibility by wearing a hard hat; they might enjoy an opportunity to associate themselves with the working class, or to illustrate job opportunities, wealth, economic growth and prosperity, simply by wearing some safety specs.
Audiences are invited to take part, watch and enjoy a drink while proceedings take place.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Inefficient Solutions is the performative identity of Dundonian artist Euan Taylor. In his work he commits to the the guise of a sub-contractor operating out of Dundee, never deviating from the company’s core values and aims: creating and solving problems; being on the scrounge; building building sites, and undertaking futile endeavours. “Inefficient Solutions consistently complies with these targets”. A graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Taylor has participated in exhibitions, workshops and residencies in Dundee, wider Scotland, and internationally. He is a founding member of Tin Roof Arts Collective, and a board member for Dundee Ceramics Workshop.
