comunicato stampa

A portico by the river undergoes transformation as hours pass, seasons change and centuries follow each other. This slow-burn, meticulously drawn animation meditates on public space, immigration and neo-liberal city policies.

The cinematic ghost image of the Gyllich Stoa – a controversial early 19th Century neo-classical building in Turku, Finland that has served as fish-market, bazaar, restaurant and petrol station in its time before being left to decay for 20 years – transmutes over 70 minutes in Beaconsfield’s arch space.

Other works in the series – Theses on the Body Politic (Riket), 2009 and Theses on the Body Politic (Shadows), 2008/9 - are shown on FlatScreens 1 and 2.

IC-98 are Patrik Söderlund and Visa Suonpää. A View From The Other Side was introduced to Beaconsfield by Forum Box Gallery, Helsinki.
Beaconsfield's exhibition of A View from the Other Side is generously supported by The Finnish Institute in London.
Programmed all the year round with new or seminal work from artists working with moving image, FlatScreen is the digital plane that creates opportunity to move fast and react to new possibilities.
