Documentation photographs of John, Jo and Christian from Monster beginning the installation of Crash at Walsall. Feeling a little nervous as it has taken the whole day to complete three out of the thirteen walls in the gallery. It looks like we will be running it to the wire for Thursday’s preview!

New Art Gallery Walsall, Gallery Square, Walsall, WS2 8LG

Thursday 9th July 2009, 6-8pm

Free. Friends, family & colleagues welcome.

Birmingham-based artist Jonathan Shaw has consistently explored the way that light and movement can be represented through the photographic image. He frequently designs, builds and modifies camera equipment to produce unique and compelling interpretations of space and time.
For this exhibition, Jonathan will create a large scale panoramic photographic installation that draws the viewer into the claustrophobic and hedonistic world of clubbing.

A publication accompanies the exhibition with an essay by Jean Baird.

Unspeaking Engagements brings together an international group of visual artists who explore processes of physical and/or durational engagement as a means of constituting the artwork. Each of the artists variously explore their own or the viewers’ awareness of their body in relation to space and time. At issue are questions of how such awareness can be cultivated, registered, represented and ultimately proliferated through the work of art. Unspeaking Engagements showcases artworks as sites of shifting experiences that veer unpredictably across time, space and object-hood and in differentiation from artworks that require detached observation and propose fixed or final interpretations.
