'Susan Spinning' and 'Peter Spinning'

<p>'Susan Spinning' and 'Peter Spinning' are two pieces created by Chloë Brown for 'The Broadcaster', two permanent village notice boards that act as exhibition spaces located outside two converted Chapels in villages (Waddington and Wellingore) in rural Lincolnshire, curated by The Postmethodists: Danica Maier, Gerard Williams, John Plowman and Nicola Streeten.. They take the form of a storyboard or even a flick book, the images capturing the moment, frame by frame, when a dancer (one female, one male) spins as part of a more elaborate dance sequence. This work has been developed from Brown’s film Dancing in the Boardroom (Turnin’My Heartbeat Up) (2013, duration 5:33 HD). The film focuses on two Northern Soul dancers dancing with passion in the empty, once splendid Boardroom at the now disused Spode Factory, Stoke-on-Trent. </p> </p>The exhibition of these two images, each outside it’s own Methodist chapel, plays on the idea of sanctity associated with a place and challenges the idea of inappropriate and subtly subversive behaviour. The two pieces situated in the noticeboards (or Broadcasters) located in neighbouring villages speak to each other and should be considered as one piece in two locations.</p>
