Syndicate: SODIUM BLINDNESS: exhibition information |
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 15:34:27 +0000 From: Lisa Le Feuvre <lisa@photonet.org.uk> ****exhibition information*********** Sodium Blindness Private View Thursday 3 February 2000 6.30pm - 9pm Thursday - Sunday 11am - 6pm 5 - 24 February 2000 APT Gallery, 6 Creekside, Deptford, London SE8 3EW telephone 0171 250 1173 Sodium Blindness is a group exhibition of six female artists working with video and photography whose work explores contemporary experiences of the urban space at night. Movement through city after dark is central to Sarah Conway?s video work: a woman walks through unevenly lit empty London streets. This everyday activity takes on a cinematic menace as the camera tracks her route. Helen Couchman also takes the city streets as her focus: taking the area surrounding the gallery space as her starting point, she highlights our perceptions of a specific journey through the city relating the journey to the APT Gallery. Lynne Marsh?s video projection 'Calling' is being exhibited for the first time in Sodium Blindness. Like her earlier work, 'Calling'continues to be concerned with an individual?s movement through space. Referencing the powerful protagonists of video games, we confront a character who is in complete possession of the space around her. Shizuka Yokomizo?s photographs also reveal a control and possession of nocturnal space, but in her case the individuals are self assured within their own domestic realm. The strangers? gaze returns that of the camera to create a compelling series of surprisingly intimate portraits. Claudine Hartzel explores this relationship between inside and outside,but she is more concerned with glances into a space rather than from a space. Her images are of both corporate and domestic interiors that we might glimpse when moving through the city at night. Vicki Wetherill?s work likewise captures glimpses of an interior: over a year she documented a single street in Paris? red light district. In her images we see the alluring glamour of a number of establishments promising nocturnal delights. Sodium Blindness is organised by Sarah Conway and Lisa Le Feuvre For further information and press images call 020 7250 1173 email lefeuvre@ndirect.co.uk ------Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/syndicate to unsubscribe, write to <syndicate-request@aec.at> in the body of the msg: unsubscribe your@email.adress
