Filing the Unfiled : Unfiling the Filed, is a solo show of recent works by Carl Slater in which the photographic and the sculptural are combined through archiving and documentation. The base material for the first part of the show has been gleaned from leftovers of a post-industrial sewing machine factory in southern France, where a mass of business documents have been re-appropriated by the artist for selection and assemblage. That for the second part has been taken from an isolated event where, under controlled conditions, marksmen demolish a landscape of ceramic plates – the remnants forming a calculation and a traumatised object. Both parts share a particular production system that orchestrates a revised lineage of time and data – an objective that focuses upon gathering and deciphering material.
