Gasworks Gallery presents the second instalment of Nights In, a series of
silent, moving image presentations. Following from the success of the initial
Nights In in February, this one-night-only exhibition includes the work of five
artists selected from open submission. There’s a supernatural feel to the
selection, with an impossible table-tennis match, a hideous slug-like
manifestation in a living-room and a mutating actress.
At a time when broadcast-quality, stereo blasting, DVD producing, video
technology reaches the high street at accessible prices, artists continue to
make silent films. Nights In highlights the economic use of the medium by
artists who, in making uncomplicated films, eschew any unnecessary use of sound.
Ziggie Bergman, Emma Harrison Hybrid
Footage of Emma Harrison with a split-screen special effect, transforming the
glamorous actress into a deformed monster.
Luis Carvajal, An Illustration of the Intelligent Mind Negotiating a Complex
Idea [A] and [B]
A spoof educational video from the Department of Pataphysics (at the University
of Southampton), starring an octopus.
Nooshin Farhid, Flip-Flop
A slug-like creature rides a pair of flip-flops, mysteriously gliding around a
living-room floor.
Effie Gibson, Match-Set
Featuring a table-tennis player who competes against his mirror image.
Graham Parker, Groundlings
The actions of three blinded figures playing a trust game and recorded by a
night-vision video camera.
Works selected by Fiona Boundy, Simon Faithfull, Goshka Macuga and Neil
Zakiewicz.
Friday 20th April 2001 6-10pm
Nights In continues in June, dates to be confirmed.
