...one more thing, 2011

Hidde van Seggelen Gallery, London

 

A somewhat sprawling exhibition of one work from a closely related series, all of which typically live in little boxes.

The works are built up from three layers of transparent arcylic, each in a different sequence of the printing primaries cyan, yellow, and magenta. The support onto which they were applied was aluminium scratched with various marks. Each time a layer was applied, two windows of paint were removed; one was taken from the same position each time, the other from a new section (thus containing all subsequent layers). These slivers of paint were then mounted as 35mm slides and projected, bringing into focus the scratches in the metal, the typically imperceptible bubbles in the acrylic, and the spectral refraction of light passing through the acrylic medium.

Animating latencies by a play of light, these works extended a dialogue begun in the two previous exhibitions at the gallery, Paintings and Other Things.
