A Material Resurfaced
In 2018 I Was invited to exhibit a new video work for a group show in Denmark. The work was shown during a screening event of artist’s films in conjunction with the exhibition As Much About Forgetting and the Viborg Animation Festival.
A Material Resurfaced responds to both the physical form seen in figurative sculpture and also the empty space that surrounds it. In this procedural film, Darren Chouings disrupts the space where digital manipulation and the human recall of physical objects from art history meet.
In total the exhibition included a multiplicity of forms including large scale backlit vinyl prints, installations, sculptures, video, performances as well as artworks that invite the audience for participation and co-creation. Key rooms changed over the course of the exhibition, alterations governed by the evolution of specific certain artworks and a highly performative workshop program, in collaboration with external partners including the Viborg Gymnasium and HF and Blichergården Center, Art History Department, Aarhus University and Sheffield Institute of Arts, in the UK.
