MA Curating and Collections 2014-15 presents ‘Work from
the Collections’ #1 alongside ‘Bob Cobbing: Bill Jubobe’ at CHELSEA Space.
First in this new series of displays, ‘Work from the Collections’ #1 employs
objects from the CHELSEA space collection, the ILEA/Camberwell Design
Collection and Chelsea College of Arts’ Library Special Collections. The
display features the use of 2D objects, 3D objects, video, sound, text and
published works that are showcased within the Entrance space and Ramp area of
CHELSEA space. The selection of objects explores notions of repetition, rhythm,
colour, visual “noise”, and the shape of language;
Sound and video are represented through such works as the
film ’N (I) B’ (2011) by Mark Titchner, a visually striking slow motion piece
that focuses on the mouth of the singer with Naipalm Death, Nicholas Bullen,
articulating a list of words banned by Local Government. The audio works
‘Colour Tale’ (2000) by Caroline de Lannoy and ‘Heating and Cooling’ (2006) by
David Toop are discretely presented, providing an auditory accompaniment for
the displays. The Ramp leading up and in to the ‘Bob Cobbing: Bill Jubobe’
exhibition features Pavel Büchler’s poster work, ‘Tonight’ (2004), depicted as
a repetitive graphic motif alongside a selection of five photographs from the
series ‘Uninhabited London’ (1977) by Jon Savage, echoing an idea of urgency
and potential within all of the works on display.
