Head Lung Dead
Glasgow Project Room January
1999.
Beagles and Ramsay's collaborative exhibitions have often used a collection of assorted characters (John Saxon, Fat Cop and Derek Blades for example) presented in a variety of forms. For the Project Room show, they focused on the exploits of one character, Gary the Misunderstood Toddler With A Flamethrower.
This installation featured a 20 x 20 ft compound, constructed from assorted urban debris. Visitors to the gallery were treated to the spectacle of a powerful jet of flaming gas spewing forth into the putrid air............the defiant balaclava clad toddler showed no mercy as his cranked up PA blasted...................................
Upon closer inspection, bolder viewers came upon two severed heads.............
