Canadian artist and Glasgow School of Art MFA graduate, Scott Rogers was awarded the 2012 – 2013 Gordon Foundation Graduate Fellowship. He began his fellowship at Glasgow Sculpture Studios in November 2012 to work towards a solo exhibition in 2014.
Rogers’ practice is situated where idealism and actuality meet. Through sculpture, video, writing, and performance, he explores what it means to think impossibilities while enacting inevitabilities. Often this method of working concerns itself with hybrids between historical research, traditional techniques, and digital technologies. Rogers’ recent interests have primarily focused on perpetual motion devices, particularly those built by the eccentric Czech explorer and inventor Jan Welzl.
“The opportunities afforded me by the Gordon Foundation Graduate Fellowship at the Glasgow Sculpture Studios are truly exceptional. I look forward to sharing my practice with a dynamic and exciting artistic community, as well as developing my work in such a world-leading production facility. I am excited to work towards a solo exhibition in 2013, while heightening my skills and expanding my methods and ideas.”
Scott Rogers’ solo exhibition is on display at Glasgow Sculpture Studios from 25 January until 1 March 2014.
