Derek Lodge, Engine 143, 2007 |
23.
ENGINE ONE-FORTY-THREE BY THE CARTER FAMILY, 1927 REMIX: DEREK LODGE, ENGINE INTERCITY 125, 2007 Lodge responded to the steam engine in the track and considered his own experience of UK railways, “which has been decidedly less romantic than that of our pioneering American cousins. I couldn’t imagine writing a song about a train that didn’t somehow suggest the experience was rubbish… Hopefully in my lifespan I’ll be able to make a piece of work that celebrates the great British rail system.” Born in Glasgow, Derek Lodge works as an artist, filmmaker and musician in Dundee. He has exhibited in a number of group shows in Scotland and the UK most notably as part of Gang Hut a project devised by Kevin Reid for Spike Island, Bristol and as part of Art Cup a project initiated by Roderick Buchanan |
