Giving the Story a Treatment is the first comprehensive publication on artist Alex Morrison, featuring contributions by Jeff Derksen and Danish art critic Lars Bang Larsen.
Last night I hosted an event in Toronto where it was announced that Morrison will be the 19th Canadian Artist in Residency at the Glenfiddich distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. He will arrive next month and spend three months at the site, alongside artists from China, Kenya, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
The residency includes airfare and accommodation, a salary, and a generous production budget. And lots of whisky. Former residents include myself, Annie Pootoogook, Damian Moppet, Van Maltese, Lee Henderson, Marla Hlady & Christof Migone, Jon Sasaki, Daniel Barrow, Eleanor King, and many others.
During his residency Morrison plans to conduct an architectural design case study which will explore art forms at the distillery that serve dual purposes, specifically the rooftop pagoda forms of the distillery, initially designed by Architect Charles Doig, creator of the Doig Ventilator (1889). The Doig Ventilator was originally designed as a ventilation system adopted by distilleries in Speyside and beyond. Drawing inspiration from the architecture of Glenfiddich’s past, Morrison aims to create a repeating pattern design that could be applied to wallpaper, textiles or packaging design, combining his interest in architectural and design history, pace making and marketing promotional aesthetics.
“Thematically, my work focuses on the intersection of heritage, the built environment, and selfhood, examining how various materials, aesthetics, and objects associated with public and domestic spaces in the present simultaneously shape and are shaped by visual identity, societal values, and our understanding of the past,” he said. “I am incredibly honoured to explore these processes while immersing myself in the rich, storied landscape of the Glenfiddich Distillery.”
