XTOL presents works by Moorland Productions (Kenneth G. Hay & Seetha. A), Richard Taylor and Andrew Kelly. Visual allusions act as signifiers for large-scale sound and installation pieces next to smaller, more intimate film pieces. Each artist presents work according to individual concerns; filling the vast historical space that is marked with sensibilities of Western culture and heritage. The exhibition comes together as a showcase of conceptual and cultural references that formally link China and England together. The exhibition also functions as part of Andrew Kelly's residency at the CEAC in Xiamen China. Whilst in Xiamen Andrew is to communicate a live web-based performance/drawing that follows a strict formula of rules governed by Richard. The result is a visual game that produces sound from pre-set visual systems, generated from participating game-players and their architectural surroundings. Through its installation in the exhibition space, Richard's work confronts these architectural intimacies and the interior decoration of the church becomes a source of visual connectivity. The animation display that is projected directly above the Pulpit interacts with the archaic design of the wood, making formal connections between the two. Formal connections are used throughout the rest of his work, using oversimplified colours and shapes to express a conceptual relationship with the interior design and its Westernised language. The large triangular volume in the centre of the church literally ties together such connections, through a mathematical system of probability. It is an exploration of possibility much like the performance, which deals with the innumerable outcomes within visual dialogues and structures. |
