the angle between two walls curated by Rahila Haque
22 August 2008 – 28 September 2008 Private view 21 August 2008, 6-8pm
This exhibition takes its title from an ‘advertiser’s announcement’ by J G Ballard that appeared in Ambit magazine in 1967, asking the ambiguous question “Does the angle between two walls have a happy ending?”
For MOT International, ‘the angle between two walls’ will be the space occupied by artists Brock Enright and Magali Reus. With an underlying relationship to the view of the city from the gallery, the exhibition will consider how these artists’ practices reveal new perceptions of everyday spaces and psychologies. Through their distinct performative approaches, they present explorations of desire and the limits of experience.
