Description/Abstract: | "We all live such distant and anonymous lives, disguised we suffer the fate of strangers. To some this distance is never revealed; for yet others it is revealed only now and then... for yet others it is one painful constant in their daily lives. Knowing clearly who we are has nothing to do with us, that what we think or feel is always in translation... an exile from our own feelings" - Fernando Pessoa What is revealed and what is distant and if that space can be bridged are key aspects of this five day forty hour drawing performance that takes the idiosyncrasies of the front of house project spaces at Briggait as its starting point. Gapfillers aims to rethink space and create a new dialogue between performance and audience in the endless and open that is space as an event. Migrating across walls with post-it notes and dry board markers, Gapfillers is process led, rule based immersion in the fixed and relational that is space and time. Burgoyne is testing their standardised credentials of colour, regularities of line, absorbency and opacity. Burgoyne sees his resulting work as finite propositions, only completed or brought into being as a result of the context they are in. In doing so, inviting the audience to play a part in the completion of the work whilst challenge, and at other times liberate, our rapport with space beyond something contained and subsequently closed to further development. |
