Interruptions of the Ordinary
2nd - 22 April
curated by Amy Mckenny
'UNNAMED'
Joe Moran, Florence Peake and Kirstie Richardson
Three screen video installation
Three adults and a baby occupy quiet isolation at home, yet something in their chance encounters suggest something else at work. Unnamed is a video installation across three screens. It combines a painterly approach to composition with random choreographic interruptions, causing characters to disappear from one screen to the next. The result is an unsettling yet compelling work that induces the claustrophobia of domestic life.

"There is absurdity in the action of repetition and the futile attempts at reparation..."
Learning, Memory and Conceptual Processes Series
"Your Outpour, My Downfall""My book was, once upon a time, a pretty good book, and your art depicts for me how it has aged. One can still see how information and wisdom used to pour out of it, but if one looks closely, the text has become a bit incoherent by now. The sad fate of textbooks that go out of date." (Walter Kintsch, author of Learning, Memory and Conceptual Processes)

BEFOREBETWEENBEYOND
Seth Guy presents C signals a new direction for his practice of reappropriation and sonic exploration. Combining an image of Chillida's Combs of the Wind (1977) with manipulated technology and found objects, C succesfully fuses together visual and sonic art into a succint conceptual sculpture.

DUNCAN CROSSLEY
13th November - 4th December 2009
Duncan Crossley is Drunk on Freedom. His first solo show is set to confront the public with the breadth and intensity of his vision. No subject is immune to Crossley's amazed gaze, from national variations in jailhouse weapons to canine haute couture. In a series of extraordinary objects - engineered to an insane level of precision - Crossley presents a world where Formica flowers, industrial weaponry and baseball collide in a celebratory manifesto for the joyous weirdness of contemporary existence.

Tantalum Memorial
22nd July - 14th August 2009
“Tantalum Memorial” is a series of telephony based memorials to the people who have died in the “Coltan Wars”.
The installation is constructed out of electromagnetic Strowger switches – the basis of the first automatic telephone exchange invented in 1888. The title of the work refers to the metal tantalum, an essential component of mobile phones. The movements and sounds of the switches are triggered by the phone calls of London's Congolese community as they participate in “Telephone Trottoire” – a concurrent project also built by the artists in collaboration with the Congolese radio program “Nostalgie Ya Mboka”.
