Tragic (2005)
2 screen installation | Stereo | Clubs.inc
A further step with my dopplegänger work, here celaning up after myself at an artist run space - returning the space to the state in which you found it as we did back in the day. Working here with giant CRT screens - which was what was availbe, not a retro nostalgia move as happens today, I created a static work that show the rear bracing arm of the screen support rendering the tv see through. This was also deployed for the narrative work which showed the space immediately behind itself and reveal a highly elided narrative in which I clean up my own body after some manner of unfortunate incident. I left the leads all out and messy, not a common move for me, I am and was always a pretty tight artist - my collaboration with Michael Graeve in 2024 a notable exception.
Such a great proejct, fond memories of my opening hosted by Spiros Panigirakis and Bianca Hester from the Clubs.inc crew.
Thanks so much to Salote Tawale who worked with me; running back and forth to hardware shops, lifting things and generally being a humourous and steady helper.
