An Audience with Graham Smith

The journey of ‘technology’ as it meets weather … as it meets art!

Join Fife Contemporary Art & Craft for the screening of ‘Six Years of Mondays’, a documentary artwork about a man called Graham
Smith living in Lochgelly, Fife, who has been making timelapse recordings of the view from his bedroom window everyday from 6am to 6pm since 2006. Graham will share his journey; from his interest in the local Scottish Weather, his technological background and how this led to the creation of www.fifeweather.co.uk, the UK’s only mobile weather lab (www.weatherevents.net), the timelapse recordings and Youtube channel.
Learn how Graham’s recordings were the basis of a commissioned piece of work by artists Thomson and Craighead (www.thomson-craighead.net) as part of Fife Contemporary Art & Craft’s ‘Weather Project’, which took place in Levenmouth and resulted in the creation of ‘Six Years of Mondays’ short video.
Fife Contemporary Art & Craft will share how the short video work takes us through a visualisation of six years of Mondays where each ‘year’ is soundtracked differently offering a range of contexts from which this contemplative landscape can be viewed. There will be a chance to ask questions at the end of the event with both Graham Smith and Fife Contemporary Art & Craft.
