Indepth Arts News: "TROUBLES: Tensions Evident Beneath Surface of Northern Irish Images" 2001-09-13 until 2001-10-13 Plug In Winnipeg, MB, CA Canada
As well as making 'straight' photographs of considerable poise, Sloan scores and scratches his negatives and reworks his
prints with gouache or crayon. He is best known for his images (measuring between four and six feet wide) of the Orange Order and
the marching season, as well as of public life in Portadown, County Armagh. Mixing intimacy with anonymity, the casual with the
formal, Sloan’s artistry lies in his ability to bring to the very surface of the image the tensions underlying the apparent normality of life in
Northern Ireland.
Philipsz will exhibit a sound work on vinyl, I Remember You, inspired by the James
Joyce story The Dead, as well as a cd installation, Company. McTigue will produce public works while in residence at Plug In, utilizing
the standard institutional notice board in a comment on painting and display called Empty Sign.
