Other surfaces

13 Jan-11 Feb 2012

Overview

Curated by Rebecca Geldard The artists participating in ‘Other Surfaces’, a single-projection show-reel of short films and videos, are essentially known for materially hands-on approaches to making. While there are some obvious points of connection, it’s unlikely they would ever be shown together as a group of object and mark makers. Yet, however diverse each individual line of enquiry, all appear to use video as a research tool as much as a recording device: a means of finding other ways around the issues of representing ideas with things. This exhibition, sat somewhere between the screening and the group show, offers a quiet space in which to consider what these artists do, both behind and life-side of the lens.
