Dan Miller

Stockade

SWG3 – Glasgow

Stockade represents the first Solo show to be held at SWG3 Gallery and takes it’s title from a series of new sculptural works. The Stockade series comprises of manipulated architectural models, where rigorous process is underpinned by ideas of defence, isolation and captivity. Stockade represents Miller’s first solo show in Glasgow. He will present a new series of two-dimensional and sculptural works, produced during his residence at SWG3.

Miller’s work calculatedly manipulates, designs and tailors aspects of theoretical as well as practical knowledge. Mechanical and architectural two-dimensional works are often interceded with a variety of collaged references, bringing into question notions of scale and appropriation. This in turn forms the basis of sculptural interventions and installations.

Through drawing, sculpture and installation Miller produces works that examine ideas of reproductive process and failure, by drawing from a range of appropriated imagery and found objects. Historical fascination and rigorous process are combined with an investigation into the underlying surface tensions of material.

In 2004 he participated in the WASPS Artists Studios – Bonhoga Gallery Residency in Düsseldorf, culminating in a solo show at Atelier Am Eck. Other group shows include Spacemakers at Lothringer Dreizehn (Munich) in association with Transmission Gallery and St Synarchy (CCA Creative Lab Residency) 2006.

Miller joined SWG3 in 2006 and was selected to present new work as part of The Glasgow Project at Reinraum (Düsseldorf) in January 2007. The project marked the first collaboration between SWG3 and Reinraum. After exhibiting with Low Salt Gallery (Glasgow) in 2006, Miller was invited to show at Supermarket 2007. An international art fair for artist-run spaces and organisations held in Stockholm during February 2007.
