PARALLAX

The John Hansard gallery 21 November 2011 - January 2012

return

This was the first opportunity I had to show the range and history of my work and projects. I emptied my schedule and concentrated for six months on this exhibition which is more time that I have ever dedicated to one show.

A big part of this project was a new commission that would form the centre piece of the exhibition. This was to be a new video work. I decided to make the piece in Caracas, a city where I spent a whole month in 1995 to make a series of wall cuts in the Museo De Bellas Artes.

I returned there in October 2010, invited by the Ministry of Culture, to inspect one of the temporary wall cuts that was still part of the collection. I also arranged to make a new sound work with students from the Music Academy.

In April 2011 I went back, this time to participate in a show curated by Lisa Blackmore. I used this opportunity to make a new work called Caracol.

Parallax involved revisiting my archive of work to put it into some kind of order. Many of the works in the show consequently had a split completion date, 1996 / 2011.
