Description/Abstract:

The exhibition consisted of a new installation work, combined with sculptural and video elements. The space was initially transformed from its 'white cube' architectural state, into a warehouse storage unit. The entrance of the gallery was reduced to a single corridor, through which there were a series of false doors, obscure shaped cupboards and larger rooms. One room acted as the 'storage area', darkly lit with boxes covered in oil, another room acts as a theatrical 'prototyping' space with two conjoined chairs were tested for strength (on the outside of the installation, a two-way mirror allowed the viewer to watch others as they explored this space).

A smaller viewing room within the installation, acted as a space to view the dual-video film Beacon, 2012. A part documentary film of inventions that are used for safety and when lost (signal beacons).
