This artists' project has made a landscape of sorts- a theme, which is often associated with painting; ie; grand concepts of nature depicting the romantic and the sublime. Creek takes you to a slim inlet of swampy water, which is situated within it. A place where flotsam and jetsam accumalate and merge to form an altogether independant island. It is within this island that the artist has become interventionist and the boundaries of the works have become blurred reinventing new territory.
Goshka Macuga's framed portal re-creates the artifice of a painting with a selection of artist-friends she repurposes their work to represent histories or folk narratives which are then tagged by Kathrin Boehm's fly posters to create an illusionary space of shape and colour.
Denise Kum delves into her own narrative, appropriating popular and traditional culture to form reconstructed realities. The concept of toxicity and mutation are central to her work. Zeigler presents hyped up print technology in 3d forms and natural geometry. Low fi references to computer-generated junk emerge where material is used as if it were sound, a process of sped-up entropy reducing the space into a mulch of sampling, scratching and mixing of ideas.
