Leak Into Space is the overall title for new time-based works by Dave Armstrong-Six. A dumpster will be dragged into the Back Gallery where it will house a labyrinthine construction made from such 'structureless' substances as syrup, glue, Vaseline, decayed drywall and sand.
|
Accompanying this are two new videos: Track It Around traces a performative walk around the city at night wherein a camera follows the walking and tracking around of 'mucous' substances as they are excreted, somewhat ambiguously, from above. The second video entitled The Soup documents the preparation of a concoction for Armstrong-Six's last show of the same name at Plug In Gallery in Winnipeg (until Sept.9). For this piece over 80 litres of junk liquids were poured over a dropped-ceiling and allowed to leak freely onto the gallery floor.
