'THE HISTORY OF THE FUTURE HAS BEEN WRITTEN'

8th November - 14th December 2008
Artist Fiona Shaw is to produce an installation. The work takes the premise of the remains of a mysterious act of destruction having taken place in the gallery. Fiona States
"The aim is to create a transformative experiential space, allowing for an intriguing and unsettling encounter with the work and the enviroment of the gallery."
The installation will take the form of a 'snapshot' of the moment of impact and the ensuing scattering of various objects in the wake of the destruction. Therefore, a distinct feature of the piece will be the arrangement of objects in unlikely and unexpectedly balanced positions, awkward and elegant, apparently gravity-defying, with an eerie sense of 'magic'.
