CHARLES ATLAS, MIKA TAJIMA AND NEW HUMANS
The Pedestrians
1 - 21 April, 2011
This ambitious live art presentation transforms the SLG's main gallery space into a hybrid installation/film set to create a dynamic space for live performance, music, video and sculpture.
A walkway cuts through the space becoming at once arcade, exhibition, passage, runway and stage. Along the path are various objects and tableaux, including new scaffold sculptures and a selection of sculptural object arrangements that have come to be associated with Tajima’s collaborative New Humans installations and performances over the years – including elements such as cinema flats, mirrors, scaffolding, palettes of soft drinks, a junkyard car and a treadmill.
Structured around the theme of walking, the installation operates as a fully functioning film set, on view within our usual opening hours, during which rehearsals also take place for a series of events by a range of performers.
Curated by Andrew Bonacina and Anne-Sophie Dinant.
