Videoland – Callum PrestonDuring Callum’s visit to our local Geelong manufacturing facilities, we had the opportunity to sit down with Callum and understand more of the inspiration and process behind his Videoland installation and the way in which it incites joy. Callum explained that when it came to bringing joy to life within this exhibition, that drawing upon his “childhood and teenage years” inspired him the most. When speaking to the concept of the video store, Callum explained how he has had the idea of recreating this space for a long time now. “It’s been a project that has been in my mind for many years, but by its nature it’s really something that needs the perfect situation to arise for it to be possible. So when I was contacted to be a part of Joy at the Immigration Museum, I was so excited to have the right space and feel to execute the idea. Once I realised it was possible, I dove in headfirst and really tried to go wild with the concept.” – Callum Preston, Artist. |
