If.... Heather Phillipson 24 February - 13 March 2010 A new instalment of If.... sees British artist Heather Phillipson produce a new filmwork. Heather Phillipson has developed a practice of making moving image works that are usually short, highly structured and composed. They deal with conjunctions and disjunctions of sound and image, scoring relationships between drawing, sound and movement. Arboriculture, to a Dog, marks a slight shift in direction. Shot on location in West Wales at her father's arboretum, the video documents a tour around the land by way of a collage of images in which her father recounts the Latin names of the numerous plants and trees. Accompanied by a dog, it is never entirely clear whether her father aims his tour at the audience or only to the dog. This ambiguous relationship raises questions as to the nature and purpose of language, communication and understanding. Heather Phillipson regularly exhibits nationally and internationally and has received several awards, commissions and residencies. Recently exhibiting at Glynn Vivian Gallery, Swansea and Fashion Space, London. Heather is classically trained as a violinist and pianist, and has a parallel practice in poetry. Heather is based in London. This show was curated by Michael Cousin For more information about the exhibition, or to organise a group visit please contact Sam Perry t: +44 (0)29 2025 5541 e: [email protected] or for press quality images visit our website www.g39.org |
