Bricks and Mortar (PG)

26 January 2010

Cinema

We enjoy asking the artists exhibiting in the gallery what films they would like to have screened in our cinema to coincide with their exhibition. The selections are sometimes surprising but also consistently illuminating of their practice. For No Reflections, Martin has chosen four films, including Bricks and Mortar.

Bricks and Mortar, a selection of films that focus on the seemingly fixed façade of architecture and urban planning to seek out hidden shifting meanings sometimes by destructive means. John Smith’s Blight witnesses homely interiors exposed violently to the elements. Locations between towerblocks preoccupy Karen Mirza and Brad Butler in The Space Between, whilst Guy Sherwin, known for his mesmerizing expanded cinema works, focus on the dynamic use of space beneath an American freeway.

Curated by Deborah Bower, Mat Fleming and Mairi Lafferty following a short residency at Palazzo Pisani, Venice and Hospitalfiled House, Arbroath. Newfoundland is a pilot programme of contemporary visual arts residencies, developed and delivered through a partnership between Scottish Sculpture Workshop and The Hospitalfield Trust. Bricks and Mortar will be also screen at Star and Shadow, Dundee.
