This work features extracts from a performance project rendered
as a film, and a film rendered as a video; this form questions and
explores some of the contextual constructs in viewing and experiencing
live performance, cinema and video in visual art territory.
The original project was the result of a residency at Rutherglen
Town Hall, South Lanarkshire, Scotland 2005. The work from this
residency resulted in a devised performance work and two films,
one led by expanded drawing techniques, the other led by research
into archetypal characters: real, past or fictional associated with
the space. These films and documentation of the performance work
overlap, share sequences, play simultaneously mimicking the architectural
and institutional forms, behaviors and uses of the spaces throughout
the Town Hall; which acts as a cultural venue, arts space, registry
office,
and in the past prison and courthouse. The characters included in
the film are the original architects Charles Wilson and Robert Dalgleish,
Blind Harry, a minstrel who documented and passed on news in the
15th century and Chris Burden, performance artist from the 1970s
and 80s.
Burden's appearance in the film project came through institutional
symbolic similarities, physical architectural forms, utopian potential
and personal stories drawn from the local community. (Chris Burden
is an enormously influential conceptual artist who began exhibiting
in 1971. He received instant fame that year with a performance piece
called Shoot in which a friend, at his request, shot him in the
arm.
Since then his work has investigated the workings of money, power,
military might, and - especially - technology. As well as investigating
the psychological experience of personal danger and physical risk,
he used his own body as an art object in outrageous, sometimes shocking
acts, aggressively confronting the artist/audience relationship
and the artmaking process.) Four of Burden's works were referenced
in the final
film: Shoot (1971), Ghost Ship (2005), B-Car (1975) and Small
Skyscraper (2001).The original presentation took two forms, a looped
version of the project and an interactive version wherein viewers
could watch sequences in any order they chose.
