Characters in Search of an Exit - group show - MOT International - London


through August 13th 2011

Mircea Cantor, Beatrice Gibson, Mauricio Guillén, Amalia Pica, Ric Warren

characters in search of an exit sees topologies of division articulated through the organising forms and devices of language. Populated by interruptions and iterations, the works are discursive of strategies with which to navigate spaces of separation. Experiencing space as syntax, the artist is frequently apparent as translator or editor. There is a sense of incompleteness given over to the exhibition through its works (a poster for a film not yet made, a scene’s script extracted from a film, a single second of video in unremitting repetition) which are sited at a point of transposition or becoming. characters in search of an exit contends to make visible, through their varied exhibitional forms, the different surfaces of the works’ disruptions, transmissions and interactions within spaces and to bring these into dialogue through shifting sets of associations.
