Paper Gentlemen is the collaboration between three masters of architecture. Out of the material studio a group of three has come together as a collective. A collaboration formed from a dynamic of differing agendas, we all strive for a common architectural ideal.
Our approach is direct. Through city integration it is the collaborations agenda to become immersed into the role of site specific activists.
Becoming antagonists it is our intention to force the city into considering itself a rapidly decaying entity. The collaborative will identify, select and highlight the degraded, ignored and redundant spaces and present them as models of regeneration or, where appropriate, collapse.
Stephen McCullough recently completed a short film show casing the work of the Paper Gentlemen.
During his filming and editing process a few snaps were taken capturing the very talented man himself.
A tool for imagination. Winning entry for a local design competition. Story telling space for Dundee University Nursery.
Collaboration takes multiple themes and forces them into opposition. A collective must work together in pursuit of a common goal but in a selfish way. Each contributor must play the part of the others phantom enemy, in order to further the credibility of the groups methods. Constructive questioning and in some cases conflict moves the unit forwards in a faster and more credible way that could be achieved in solo.
"Alliance & Rebellion" is first of a series of exhibitions which aims to reactivate a dormant space and encourage collaboration within our varied arts community.
Exhibitors included Cameron McEwan, Stephen McCullough, Christy Yates and Annie Turner.
The exhibition is currently on show at The Faircity Auction House, First Floor Gallery, 52-54 Canal Street, Perth.
