64.THS MOUNTAINEER’S COURTSHIP BY MR AND MRS ERNEST V. STONEMAN, 1926 REMIX: ZOE IRVINE, MOUNTAINEER’S COURTSHIP, 2007 Stoneman said, "Any song with a story will go to the people's hearts because they love stories. They love stories of tragedy, a wreck or something." Irvine’s work takes the form of two gramophone record labels, bearing photographic imagery. They are a re-interpretation of the conversation that takes place in ‘The Mountaineers Courtship’. In this version the courtship is between neighbours, one a collector of gramophone records and the other a mountain biker. The viewer sees the budding romance through the door spy-holes looking across the close. The work was made with the help of Robert Young. Zoë Irvine is an artist based in Scotland who works primarily with sound. Recent ongoing projects include DIAL-A-DIVA www.dialadiva.net and Magnetic Migration Music www.magneticmigration.net |
