Documents Alternatives #1
17 November – 16 December 2017
An experimental group exhibition, curated by Dr Angela Bartram, exploring temporality, fixedness, transience and changeability.
Using a single projection and responding to the linear structure of the room, this version of the installation focuses on a “one-to-one” format, with the image in the slide projector directly illuminating the image in the wall-hung hologram.
The vertical ‘striping’ of the large window shutter, located at the entrance of the gallery becomes the ‘wall’ on which the work is mounted and a point of orientation for the projected image and its (now) vertical line.
Holograms are often described as “windows with memories”, and here, the location of the holographic element of the installation, next to the gallery window, offers two views into two ‘spaces’: the town beyond the gallery window, and the synthetic structures held within the hologram.
Alternative Documents #1 features works by: Angela Bartram, Andrew Bracey, Brazier and Free, Luce Choules, Emma Cocker and Clare Thornton, Kate Corder, Steve Dutton, Tim Etchells, Rochelle Haley, Morrad + McArthur, Andrew Pepper, Louise K. Wilson.
