Making / installing my solo exhibition The Public Dream at The Art House UK. Drawing on the gallery's history as a Carnegie Library, the exhibition considers the ghost of materiality as a form of science fiction. Opens this Friday. All welcome.
the-arthouse.org.uk/exhibitions/...
A view from behind a wall of a dimly lit gallery, a white ziggarat at the end of the room. A view of a wall drawing in progress. A stepladder and a chair is in front of the wall. The drawing is hard to make out in the dim light. A long shot of a gallery showing two wheeled walls set aslant with a gap between them. One wall seems to have been drawn on in watery blues and greens. A stepladder sits under a spotlight. An oval, abstract video projection of turquoises and greys glows against a darkened wall.
