'Blocart' a unique fusion of bouldering climbing techniques and live art phenomenological enquiry.
Andy Whall moved to St Ives in 1996 from Cardiff. He currently lives in Marazion and describes himself as an artist and curator and director of Art Surgery.
Whall’s creative practice embodies many of the defining characteristics of contemporary art. His work is self - consciously discursive and utilises video, text, drawing and sculpture. His work consistently examines the relation of the self to the spaces he sites his work in, whether it be cities or the elemental landscapes of Penwith in Cornwall.
His artworks suggest a sense of the work as something ongoing, something which is always in one way or another in progress.
Whilst he may make visible and tangible references to landscape, the space (the work) is treated as an intellectual plain or gap - seen as analogous to the space between ideology and language and where these enter a social framework.
