Co.Lab, the title for Daniels first solo exhibition promises to be both interactive and ‘collaborative’. The exhibition title refers to three words that define the artwork and viewing experience:Collaboration: Inferred to through the interactive nature of the works, the viewer becomes a collaborator – involved in the completion of the artworks through their interaction with them.Laboratory: Used to explore ideas around the installation space becoming an environment for discovery and socialexperimentation.Company: Referred to in the relational sense – people coming together via shared moments of participation.Scott Daniels is an emerging artist who has recently returned to Plymouth after studying Fine Art at University College Falmouth. His work sets out toinvolve his audience directly in the process of ‘finishing’ the artwork – creating a situation where the viewer becomes a participant. Parts of the installation are triggered into life when viewers pass through the space; others are an invitation to the audience to make their ‘mark’ on the work.The active role that audience members take is both creative and destructive– a new ‘shredder’ work begins to produce ‘waste’ as a result of viewing – perhaps instilling a sense of responsibility in viewers. Daniels will also work with Spatial Design students at the College to explore possibilities for re-configuring the installation during the run of the exhibition.(www.scottdaniels.co.uk)
