Daniel Eatock +44 (0)7811 177965 daniel (at) eatock (dot) com ------------------------------------- Artist Statement Using my background knowledge from working as a graphic designer, I employ a rational, logical and pragmatic approach when making work. I have an ongoing interest to proposing and finding solutions to problems, often problems that cannot be formulated before they have been solved, the shaping of the question is part of the answer. I look for things to fix or improve, working like a tinkerer/inventor, I propose alternatives to existing models, preferring to find ways around doing things properly, bypassing the struggle. I make work for museums, galleries, television, cinema, design, advertising, branding, and education. I use self referentiality as an objective guide to reduce the extraneous and subjective, and strive for a conceptual logic. The idea is paramount and the material form secondary. My website is a tool where I both create works, and index and exhibit projects chronologically. I propose systems, templates, invitations and opportunities for collaboration, creating social networks where contributors shape the outcome and participate in the building of works. I build work both individually and collaboratively often leading teams on large projects. I embrace contradictions, and dilemmas. I am always interested in new ways of working and making connections with people to enable works, large and small, to materialise. Daniel Eatock's classic Utilitarian Poster is essentially a work of information architecture. Daniel Eatock is renowned for his exploration of the wit and conceptual irony that exist in everyday objects and situations. He devises systems, templates and opportunities for collaboration inviting contributors to shape the outcome and participate in the creation of his work. He embraces contradictions and dilemmas;. I am lokking for some themes or templates. Is there a possibility to change my indexhibitstyle. Must i programm these style or is there a possibility to install a template. PORTUGAL 9 year(s) ago. Permalink Post. You'll have to program them. GERMANY 9 year(s) ago. Mar 21, 2012 Mr Daniel Eatock has recently updated his site with a new series of object-based works called One + One. Each establishes a range of formal, practical. I like gray areas, oxymorons and the feeling of falling backwards. My favorite colour is the purple found in a soap bubble. I like to swap and exchange things as an alternative to money. I seek alignments, paradoxes, chance circumstance, loops, impossibilities and wit encountered in everyday life. I often change my mind, go full circle, and arrive at the beginning. ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Manifesto Begin with ideas Embrace chance Celebrate coincidence Ad-lib and make things up Eliminate superfluous elements Subvert expectation Make something difficult look easy Be first or last Trust the process Allow concepts to determine form Reduce material and production to their essence Sustain the integrity of an idea Propose honesty as a solution ------------------------------------- © 2015 Daniel Eatock.
