Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:46:21 +0100 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:46:21 +0100 Let’s get this straight: Jesus always triumphs. And so, at Null and Void, we triumphed too. Obviously, we were keen that the glory would belong to God, and not to us, which was why we had set about organising a joint exhibition featuring the Christian Unions from the Scottish Art Colleges in the first place. The aim had been to encourage interaction between the CUs- we always have a nice time when we see each other, so it seemed a bit silly not to do it more often. Furthermore, it had been noted that a couple of the colleges had exhibition spaces available for use, and so the seed for Null and Void was planted. About 11 months of planning ensued, at the end of which I was an excited onlooker as the work from Dundee and Glasgow  arrived in the back of the ever-chivalrous Cully McCulloch’s  car, and the Edinburgh work departed in it for Glasgow. Our aim was to hang two simultaneous exhibitions, Null in GSA, and Void in ECA, with the first opening taking place on the Monday, and the second on the Wednesday of the same week. Each participant- mostly CU members with a few others (to keep things broad minded)- would put in work for both shows. We hoped to stage an ambitious exhibition with an interesting and challenging subject matter for Christians and Non-Christians alike. Our prayer is that through seeds planted by conversations, the art on display, our witness and our relationships, those who came will have been moved further towards knowing Jesus. I suppose that we can only do so much on our own, and God does what’s important, but it’s such a joy for us to be able to serve our Lord in ways that we enjoy. On the whole, we had a fun time at the two shows. Lots of people came to them, which was nice. All manner of conversation happened, we ate crisps and drank wine (in Glasgow a lot of bagels also appeared, so we ate those too), we appreciated art and listened to a string quartet, we took photos, posed for photos, probably talked about the weather, and maybe even discussed art. Then we went to the pub/ Liz’s flat.  We enjoyed each other’s company, which was our first objective, and having lots of people turn up was an answer to prayer as well. It’s a lasting challenge for us to make good and relevant work when we open up to our friends and course mates, not because we’re elitist or silly, but because we can bless them and bless our Lord in doing so. It’s quite fun really. I might not have explained all this very well, and I wrote those first sentences (about triumphing) on a whim, but I think it’s true. It’s no reason to slack off though. I reckon that the idea for Null and Void could go a long way, and we’ve learned and been challenged and had fun and, in Christ, we’ve triumphed, which is a huge blessing.  Dundee is really called Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (DJCAD), and Glasgow is Glasgow School of Art (GSA). Edinburgh, incidentally, is Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), so there you have it.  Cully was, according to rumour, christened David, and is the one and only Scottish Arts Staff Worker. If you meet him, chat to him: he’s excellent. Liz doesn’t live in a pub, we went to her flat after the opening in Glasgow, and we went to a pub after the opening in Edinburgh. http://www.uccf.org.uk/students/interface-arts/blog/2008-06/null-and-void.htm Let’s get this straight: Jesus always triumphs.
