Richard Couzins
Hoxton Distillery, London
The next exhibition in Hoxton Distillery 's programme opens with a showing of new video work by Richard Couzins. Exploiting links between sound and image, Richard Couzins utilises video to inhabit spaces that sit "in-between" different media and modes of representation. He describes this uncertain location as a place "where things are forged, where there is an abundance of energy, process and spontaneity".
The next exhibition in Hoxton Distillery 's programme opens with a showing of new video work by Richard Couzins.
Exploiting links between sound and image, Richard Couzins utilises video to inhabit spaces that sit "in-between" different media and modes of representation. He describes this uncertain location as a place "where things are forged, where there is an abundance of energy, process and spontaneity". The work is full of parody, irony and tensions, veering between overstatement and understatement, with a heady overdose of metaphor, humour and unsettled feelings. Vernacular and colloquial speech, the language of objects, and archaic forms of communication -such as music hall songs- are at the heart of Richard Couzins' investigations into language and language systems though the medium of video.
Following the preview in the Gallery between 6.30 and 9 there will be a DJ set with Choppi Cee in The Macbeth bar.
