I didn’t think it would turn out this way
Am I an Object, part IV

Opening: 13 November, 20-24 hrs
14 November – 19 December 2021
Thu-Sun, 14-18 hrs

Aman Sandhu, Anne-Marie Copestake, Clarinda Tse, Margaret Salmon, Mathew Wayne Parkin and Renèe Helèna Browne, with Harriet Rose Morley and Bo Wielders

The title for this exhibition, programmed by David Dale Gallery as part of an organisational exchange with P/////AKT, is taken from the opening words of Lauren Berlant’s introduction in a special edition of Critical Inquiry from 1998 entitled ‘Intimacy: A Special Issue’. This focus on intimacy as well as desire, togetherness, presence and absence opens reading into the mechanics of each moving image work but also provides a political underpinning to the programme as a whole. To exist as a limited group of objects bundled together, to act as a subjective survey of sorts, a round-up of activity by artists making moving image work in Glasgow in 2021, is an intimate affair.
 
Harriet Rose Morley’s designs for chairs and tables constructed in collaboration with Bo Wielders, make this viewing space both active and communal. Built in response to the screening programme and with consideration to the differing lengths of the moving image works, the furniture speaks to Morley’s concerns around accessibility, care, and challenging dominant methodologies – her maxim to be ‘always under construction’.

There will also be a publication available at P/////AKT and online featuring writing by Aman Sandhu, Mathew Wayne Parkin and Margaret Salmon, and designed by Phoebe Kerr.

I didn’t think it would turn out this way has been programmed by Caitlin Merrett King, Programme Coordinator at David Dale Gallery, Glasgow, as the first part in an organisational exchange with P/////AKT, Amsterdam who will present an exhibition at David Dale Gallery in early 2022.

Tessa Langeveld – Soft-Spoken Stage Mouth
Part 2/3

Opening: 13 November, 20-24 hrs
14 November – 19 December 2021
Thu-Sun, 14-18 hrs
 

“The screen is not a frame like that of a picture, but a mask which allows only a part of the action to be seen. When a character moves off screen, we accept the fact that he is out of sight, but he continues to exist in his own capacity at some other place in the decor which is hidden from us.”

-André Bazin, from Theater and Cinema

for You, the character.

Intrigued by the time-based element of video, Tessa Langeveld creates moments that slowly unfold as a fragmentary narrative – the act of making is not in the choice of the subject, but in the choice of the meaningful moment. Langeveld graduated from AKI (Enschede) in 2020.

Extracts from Like clock, 2021

Opening: 13 November, 20-24 hrs
14 November – 19 December 2021
Thu-Sun, 14-18 hrs

Red button becomes retrieval scheme. “But its gaiety was like the deafening voice; merciless, made of tin, and mad.” There may [question] be time for the clock, the clock [question] may make time for itself;

Like clock is a work made up of multiple borrowed and familiar aspects, assembled on its own terms. The essential premise would seem to be about staging a gathering-together in a place that appears to have its own rules.
