Play it as it lays

Play it as it lays, is an assemblage platform structure, within a time-based installation which features a sequence of projected animated pattern-motifs. The assemblage is made up of a collection of artefacts, statues, sculpture and other contemporary materials (including products), this collection has been specifically compiled to be presented at Viborg Kunsthal, including the large statues borrowed from VK’s archive. The installation featured audio, a spoken text, featuring multiple voices. The time-based immersive installation: Play it as it lays is conceived as an excavation site, a staging to reassess our public and private collections of various categorisations. Foregrounding the spatial qualities of projected animation with the temporal conditions of sculpture, enables this body of work* to move away from the more conventional narrative structures and explore a more immersive and intimate environment. This form of speculative curation led practice has enabled me to hold a more diverse spatial and gestural sensibility within this time-based project. The animated patterns originate from a body of research that speaks of topographies; from a stealth technology used to cloak sensitive material, to an excavating form of topographical mapping and further examples optical registers. Play it as it lays is presented in the large East Wing gallery of Viborg Kunsthal, in the group exhibition: As Much About Forgetting Co-curated by TC McCormack, Michelle Atherton & Jette Gejl. *This work relates to an exhibition: The Immense Ventriloquism at nationalmuseum, in Berlin, 2017
