Grand Rapids Art Museum | Art Prize 2010 | VOTE FOR TIM

Tim is on the road shooting new work and setting up his indoor installation of INTERVENTION, projected at the Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM) in Michigan as part of the unique Artprize.  Designed as a very different art competition, the goal is for the general public and artists to collide, exchange ideas and come away changed. Part arts festival, part social experiment--this international contest is decided solely by public vote. The Artprize's mission is to;

Be a catalyst for collisions and connections between artists and communities, for the sake of infusing vitality and courage into culture.

For anyone that is in the area Tim will also be hosting an Artist's talk on Thursday 23rd September on level II @ 11am.

PRESS RELEASE

Continuing his ongoing installation series INTERVENTION, projected, UK based photographic artist Tim Simmons showcases his ethereal large- scale landscapes with three further events this summer.

Tim’s work examines the multi-layered relationship we have with our natural environment. He captures a world that is raw and primordial, and recreates it as something intensely intimate. From Devon rock pools to volcanic Icelandic landscapes, the earth at its most elemental seems to take on a life of its own; the inanimate becomes animate, almost pulsing with a sense of hushed expectation. It is this surreal, otherworldly quality that defines Tim’s work. His imagery elicits an immediate, visceral response, the illusive atmosphere inspiring quiet reflection, and prompting questions about mortality and he fragility of our planet.

Presented after dark on a freestanding 20’x15’ screen, INTERVENTION, projected will be showing at the following venues in July:

Fermynwoods Contemporary Art
