SEAN KAYE AND JENNY WEST - Slow Revolution

Vernon Street 12 - 29 April

Sean Kaye and Jenny West began working together in 2006. Their practice uses strategies of limitation, translation and exchange in the production of distinct bodies of work.

This exhibition of new and recent work includes Mirror Mirror a series of paired drawings that highlight the fallibility of communication and translation in their construction and Reflection a series of video works exploring the relationship of balance, equilibrium and rhythm found in the monumental radio telescope at Jodrell Bank. The bookwork A Random Dispersal of Dust (Mutely Understood) will also be accompanied by related research material. This work is a word reveral of the short story The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges and is published by Wild Pansy Press.

In conjunction with the exhibition the film Slow Revolution will be shown at Hyde Park Picture House on Monday 26th April at 6.00pm - admission free.
