07.05.99 - 30.05.99
Private View: 07 May 1999, 7.00-9.00 pm
Ian McLean and Alex Ammars test-reel SCD.008 is an estranged, voyeuristic
dialogue. McLeans cinematic images and Ammars delicate collage of
voices stolen from air traffic control compound the sense of elsewhereness in
this supposed desire for a coupling. Whilst imitating longing the slippage in
scale in McLeans paintings and its redundancy in Ammars exercise
in pianissimo alludes to the pleasure of unrequitedness. Though traditional
pastoral iconography prompt relations there is a conscious absence of infatuated
impasto.
A beautiful if secluded muse upon modern desire.
A limited edition of 100 numbered CDs accompanies the installation.
