Live, auto generated video with sound – 10 min.
Track by Sonfapup, 1998
Using an electronic music track by Sonofapup (re-mastered for the occasion), Sean Dower will present a music video, auto-generated live on the night. The geometric and hypnotic video responds to the sound being played…

He studied Sculpture at Camberwell School of Art and Design and then attended the Rijksakademie van Beeldenden Kunsten in Amsterdam.

STORYTELLER
‘Directors Commentary’, 2020, Film
In 2013 the Scottish artist Bruce McClure started filming his debut feature ‘District Nurse’.
This endeavour went on to feature prominently, and define much of his activities over the subsequent years. Inspired by the creative use of found footage in Jeremy Deller’s ‘Everybody in the Place, An Incomplete History of Britain 1984-1992′.
In 2020 Bjórn Hatleskog started the process of deconstructing ‘District Nurse’.
McClure was later invited to add his own audio commentary as the original director.
The end result ‘Directors Commentary’ is a simulacrum of ‘District Nurse’, complete with a pumping techno soundtrack.

Film in situ
LIMINALITY with GALLERY46 present a series of new works dealing with the themes of incubation, self isolation, modes of liminality, meditation, restrictions and freedoms.
In a mode of LIMINALITY we are compelled to ask questions, to mediate on how we will transverse and embrace the mystery and power of transition.
Let us enter this Liminal space, collectively.
Where we are free to roam in transcendent modes.
Free to activate the imaginal.
Free to [START DREAMING] again
Limited editioned exhibition posters by the individual artists involved in the series will be available to buy. Details to follow.
