After all
Galerie schleicher+lange is delighted to present the latest video works and sculptures by Chris Cornish and the first part of a new series of drawings by Alison Moffett.
Despite having been aware of each other’s work for a number of years, this will be the first time the artists develop the concept of a joint exhibition.
Using video footage and photographic reference, Cornish constructs fictional environments on the computer. These he presents as videos as well as (seen here for the first time) 3D sculptures.
The landscapes seem to be set in an alternate universe; lost areas of countryside are mixed with architecture lifted directly from contemporary computer games to produce a lonely, foreboding presence.
Although presented as moving images, his videos are marked by a strong reference to sculpture and painting. It is this connection to a common history which helps blur the line between illusion and reality.
The figures in Alison Moffett’s life-size pencil drawings are placed in equally ambiguous surroundings. The characters seem lost in time and space, as if sleepwalking through nature in an unfamiliar place.
The melancholic dream-like atmosphere is juxtaposed by the very precise way in which Moffett draws her figures, creating a fictional reality to mirror that found in Cornish’s work.
Opening: 18 October from 6.30pm 9.30pm
