The Pulse of Duration

A group project between three Artists; whilst they share a common theme and space, each Artist has explored the themes individually and creatively.

Venue: The Looking Glass 39 High Street, Bristol, BS1 2AW
Opening Hours: Daily from 10-5, Artist in residence daily from 10-1pm
Private View: 1st June times TBC

This conception of cinematic duration and its rich potential for virtual mnemosis are critical touchstones between the film and video works of Artists, Polly Stanton, Darn Thorn and Matthew Stanton. Whilst acknowledging Tarkovsky’s conception of “time pressure’ to be bound in part to a subjectivity borne of post-war European modernism, each artist knowingly embraces the principle as an opportunity of inquiry into the relationship between topologies of space and duration along with the processes of imprinting, transmission and translation of the ‘time image’ as a proxy for shared and individual memory.
Polly will be projecting digitally, Matthew will be projecting 16mm film and Darn is making an installation that replicates a student  flat, and playing his 16mm film on a TV via a VHS player.
