Alec Finlay
Alec Finlay (born 14 March 1966) is a Scottish-born artist currently based in Edinburgh. He is a son of Ian Hamilton Finlay and, with his sister, a beneficiary of the latter's estate, which is represented by the Ingleby Gallery.〔(Ian Hamilton Finlay at Ingleby Gallery )〕 Finlay's work takes various forms and media, including poetry, sculpture, collage, audio-visual, neon, and new technologies; often it reflects on human engagement with landscape.
His work has been widely exhibited at The Bluecoat, Tate Modern, Norwich Castle Museum, ARC Gallery (Sofia), and HICA (Highland Institute for Contemporary Art). In 2010, Finlay was shortlisted for the Northern Art Prize.〔(Shortlist Northern Art Prize )〕 In 2012 he was a finalist in the first annual ALICE awards, nominated for his 2009 project ''white peak | dark peak'' (Public Art Category).〔http://www.global-board.org/en〕
==Artistic style==
Finlay's use of nest boxes,〔''Specimen Colony'', with Jo Salter, commissioned by The Bluecoat Gallery, Liverpool, 2008〕 botanic labels,〔''Propagator'', Yorkshire Sculpture Park, 2005〕 clothing name-tapes〔''Your Name Here'', Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, 2004〕 and wind turbines〔''turning toward living'', Science Learning Centre North East, Durham, 2007; ''time bends space arcs light eclipses'', Kielder, 2008〕 are examples of ways in which Finlay embeds smaller elements into wider landscapes to create 'families' or 'colonies' of work, emphasising the experiential and lived. He has produced letterboxes with circular poems on the stamps. Often these works are collaborative,〔''Specimen Colony'' (2008) in collaboration with Jo Salter; ''The Road North'' (2010-11) in collaboration with Ken Cockburn; ''siren'' (2006) in collaboration with Chris Watson〕 sometimes mapped directly onto the landscape, at others embedded socially, or accessible on-line using QR code technology.〔''white-peak / dark-peak'', commissioned by ''re'':place (Derbyshire Arts Development Group), The Peak District National Park, 2009〕 Finlay has published over twenty books, and has won three Scottish Design Awards (Best Typography, Best Book, Chairman's Award, 2000).〔http://www.alecfinlay.com/alec_cv.html〕
In conversation with Gavin Morrison of Atopia Projects, Finlay described the importance of collaboration to his practice, explaining that the artist's identity 'has no defining value in terms of an autographed activity, as such. () There are boundaries that can be marked, but also sparks that leap between consciousnesses. The work is not within one consciousness. That is a fact. Yet it is still always filtered through mine, and this is an endlessly subtle and complex and delightful experience. It is evident in the different ways in which I could refer to collaboration and participation, their contradictory aspects of election, inflection, infection - one could consider my work as an overarching encirclement of other people's work, where what they make appears under my name; as an animation of others, as I spark their creativity; and as a sharing of consciousness, through identifiable poetic or artistic forms (wind blown clouds, names, haiku and so on). I do not find the information that the activity is producing is really suggesting that we try to pin down authorship, and for me it has become increasingly clear that the material was shared consciousness, which is after all what all art is in some way about.'〔(Atopia Library interview )〕
