…I cannot believe it. The technicians here in Tianjin, China putting my installation and 56 drawings on the gallery walls …suddenly downed tools and walked out…as far as I can make out…because of something their boss said in the gallery..one minute they were joking and smiling, next minute they looked grim and walked out sullen looking…
Surely this doesn’t happen here? It’s like something out of the British strikes and walk outs of the sixties and seventies!

PORTRAITS IN TIME
Marty St James
New drawings, photographs and video installation at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, China
Opening exhibition 6pm Monday 9th September 2013
Continuing until 9th October 2013
His drawings rotate in time and space, and the emotion of the artist is fleeting in time, like no man ever steps in the same river twice.
We are all in turn in time, what can we see in a “split second”？Can we see
ourselves in the circle of “time”?
Marty attempts to answer these questions through his artwork
