To consider how something is sampled and transferred. How spaces are animated through interaction and interference. These images are taken in the bell tower of the church in which an exhibition shall be realised: the arena here is situated below the clock tower and above the rest of the tower as it climbs. To introduce equipment requires introduction of light and electricity to navigate the tight winding stairs, yet once you are there, you have things set up it is like a studio in which to experiment, cross-reference and “draw” with your ideas and your tools.
This is where the television has been stored, along with its white tablecloth – collecting dust, but still functional when someone returns. In the non-space that that provides height enough to make a spire visible within the cityscape, is where these activities happen, where samples from the public altar are brought from below and toiled over.
Eventually the re-samples will be brought back downstairs for the exhibition: in time for public display. The former space is the rehearsal place, the “stage” is the exhibition itself where objects and formulaic display cross-reference and act out their animating conversation.
