Let Yourself Fall (Between the Solid and the Void)
The Meffan, 20 West High Street, Forfar DD8 1BB
26th July – 23rd August 2014
In this exhibition Helen Angell-Preece expands her ongoing fascination with Architecture and Space, and how Place gives us a sense of ourselves ‘Being’ here.
She will investigate the sculptural concerns of the Solid and the Void, by dividing the Gallery Spaces at the Meffan with her architectural constructions, creating a physical journey for the Viewer to negotiate and experience for themselves.
A new video projection will enable us to explore the vast, semi-derelict expanse of space of a former Dundee Jute Mill. We experience the space from the camera’s viewpoint, glimpsing the body itself exploring the area – an arm, shoulder or torso, moving through the exaggerated perspective of the Industrial scale room.
The artist intends to explore the Potentiality of ‘Being’ in a space – the feeling of inhabiting / becoming the space; and how much this has to do with materiality, boundaries and our own body movement.
