Man, woman, fish (Paradise)
Summers, Francis (2009) Man, woman, fish (Paradise). [Exhibition/show]
- Details
The key notion around the show was that of the forms of public address that an exhibition might make possible, or the constrictions upon possibility that a gallery might place artworks under.
Artist statement:
Statement to be made from a number of options.
Statement works as a form of claiming stories, pictures, postures, all of which are subject to description. Statement defines a space for a public performance, the giving of an account, a formal gesture. Statement claims a space for declaration, exploring what can be said, shown, posed, gestured, and in what way.
The contribution by Francis Summers in this two person exhibition was a lyrical-poem-essay of an appropriated section of a Hollywood film using a flat-screen television as the new generic mode of televisual address. Babak Ghazi's contribution was an architectural use of image, using billboard paper. Both contriubtions addressed notions of public address within the confines of an interior space to think through the work of making a statement as both image and text.
