Thursday 26 January 7pm
NEW WORK UK: Disconnect
Whitechapel Gallery, London
NEW WORK UK is a new LUX/ Whitechapel series showcasing new British artists'
film and video, each event is selected by a different guest curator.
Disconnect brings together three very different recently made works that share a
suspicion of verbal communication and the desires that may get in the way of
understanding. In Frozen Section by Vanda Playford, a mysterious illness grows
increasingly enigmatic as patient, family and doctors weigh in their
observations. Maria Rapicavoli's One, No One a series of strangers attempt to
guess the artist's background drolly revealing more about their own
presumptions. The farcical sentimentality and romantic expectations within
human interactions with nature are comically exposed in Richard T. Walker's
Successiv Inconceivable Events. Through their exploration and critique of the
confessional mode of video documentation these works suggest that more telling
insights may occur through miscommunication and misunderstanding. Curated by
Cylena Simonds
£5.50/£3.50 concs & Whitechapel Members, Free for Whitechapel Patrons &
Associates. Advance bookings or tickets on the door.
