The Parallax Curtain brings together newly commissioned and existing works including sculpture, painting, performance and video, by three British-based artists, Melissa Gordon, Emily Musgrave and Jessica Warboys.
The Parallax Curtain draws together ideas of expanded perception, multiple perspectives and limitless layers of meaning through the presented works. Through extensive research, obsessive cataloguing and process itself, the artists presented in The Parallax Curtain mine the past for forgotten histories and real world events; historical figures; discarded objects with their own silent history; or fictions to retell. Through this process - in addition to a constant editing, collage and layering - resulting works subtlety re-perform these various narratives.
Jessica Warboys presents a large-scale ‘sea painting’ produced specifically for the gallery, Emily Musgrave presents freestanding structures and two-dimensional collages, all new work specifically commissioned for the exhibition, and Melissa Gordon presents paintings and installations referencing printed media.
