We finished our work earlier than expected yesterday..so went over to the De La Warr to spy Ceriths exhibition.
It's in 4 parts apparently so we dipped our toes in the nearest venue on the ground floor.
The studio looked sparse upon entering and was hot as hell..
Great to see the space had really been opened up and light pouring in from the North and South.
We're so used to this room being dingy, mainly given over to Antique Fairs etc.
Walked past 3 plants revolving on plates with flexes trailing..Electric Triffids? Why can't the staff water them? they look to be dying!
Past long neon lettering..not readable except in the glass behind. Asked attendant if the letters stay on @ night to guide shipping in..but said "Don't think so.."
Made our way over to a set of suspended, badly tuned Pan Pipes, hanging from ceiling, intermittently ejecting screeches...Maybe there is a 'Nautical theme' after all.
Oh nearly forgot..Projected -ve to +ve image..on North gallery wall.
Was that it for installation 1 then..just time to pop upstairs and see 2.
Damn..security personnel at top of circular landing shouting "Sorry we are closed.." bit like Next @ Glyne Gap.
We will come back soon for Part 2..
Note Try to coincide next visit with Jo Youngs Art of Noises 'Silent walk' around the exhibition on 14th April.
He might make the art more accessible..
Initial impression of 'The Love Letter..'
More of a 'Dear John..' just now..
Gweler chi cyn bo hir Cerith.
