| Abstract: | New Installations by collaborative video artists John Wood and Paul Harrison, known for visually surprising experiments in which they test themselves out in relation to constructed physical elements. The videos that document these playful actions have the simple composition of a fixed lens. The works all foreground the monitor itself, and the space it inhabits, as much as the recorded tableaux played out on screen. A number of specially built structures, reminiscent of 70s minimal sculpture, are positioned around the Gallery, acting as plinths, props or adjuncts to monitors. The sound of someone clambering over, through or under these objects can be heard continuously throughout the Gallery. One of the artists can be glimpsed intermittently on each monitor, negotiating the particular obstacle. |
