Karin Kihlberg & Reuben Henry - Inbindbale Volume
AT VIVID:
THU 29 JUL- SAT 21 AUG 2010 | PREVIEW WED 28 JUL, 6-8 PM
OPEN THU - SAT | 12-5 PM | admission FREE
VIVID is delighted to announce details of Inbindable Volume, an ambitious new video installation by artists Karin Kihlberg & Reuben Henry. Launching VIVID’s 2010/11 artists commissioning programme, the work has been developed during a three month residency at VIVID’s project space in Eastside with the support of The Henry Moore Foundation, Birmingham City of Culture, and the prestigious Jan van Eyck Academie, an institute for research and production in the fields of fine art, design and theory in the Netherlands.
Filmed in Birmingham's iconic Central Library, the city's most infamous example of Brutalist architecture, Inbindable Volume is an exploration of the journey between conception and materialisation " both in architecture and books " and what becomes of ideologies after they have been realised in material form. The work comprises multiple screens depicting the interior of the library in an elaborate assemblage of moving shots. This is overlaid with the voice of an omnipresent narrator, who encapsulates this journey through a text which skips unnaturally between past, present and future tense; an unsettling grammar that aims at placing the viewer in multiple perspectives in time.
The exhibition opens at VIVID on 29 July and continues to 21 August 2010. The work will move to Danielle Arnaud, London (17 September - 24 October 2010) where it will be presented alongside a selection of new works produced at VIVID and the Jan van Eyck Academie. In March 2011, the exhibition will head overseas to Citric Gallery, Italy, before returning to the UK for exhibition at Artsway, Hampshire, during summer 2011.
