Un jour de beauté
Friday 14th September 2007 – Tuesday 30th October 2007 , 12:00am to 11:59pm
The assemblage of models, texts, video and photographic imagery in this exhibition shows a pre-occupation with the acts of cutting, rejoining, inverting and reflecting, revealing a ‘potential space’ – perhaps within the ‘joins’ themselves.
These acts often involve violence against a ‘piece of work’ and a feeling of calculated ruination befalls any intended ‘outcome’ – of course these acts also alter the genetic structure of the thing forming a new combination. The splice or seam is imagined as an abyss – something immeasurably deep or infinite – and this distance delays closure in the work and gives time to look and reflect together with a sense of ‘remove’.
The impression of provisionality in the work and referencing to ruin as a verb as well as a noun indicates something in process and in the act of taking place in the here and now.
