MARK SPELMAN
‘You Weren’t There’

Opening event
Saturday 27th June 6-8pm

Mark Spelman worked on and off in the Middle East as an Art handler for over 10 years. He once pulled a six month shift in a small desert town that was being reconfigured as a Premium Art Destination, after which he decided to form his own religion. That didn’t work out so well. These works on paper are a homage to the time he has spent there, the influence of the wider regional culture and the occasional struggles he had making sense of what he was doing there, why he was doing it, and for what purpose. They are the kind of contradictions that can only occur when you find yourself in-between cultures, jobs and meaning. They are illuminations: of time squandered, traded and well spent, as well as the kind of mythologies that you create through endless repetition of the same stories, told to the same people in the back of a van.

Exhibition runs until 25th July

🤗 All Welcome

Adopting multiple positions on the spectrum of maker, collector, curator, historian and cultural theorist, Shaddick explores how artworks condense as physical symptoms under the blows and counter-blows of the digital hegemony. The Surviving Object is an investigation on the boundary between the digital and physical afterlives of a group of historical etchings. The work explores the capacities of mirrored digital and material artifacts to project their forces into each other’s space affectively.

The Surviving Object is a space in which relationships between the material and digital presence of artworks might be intensified and experienced.

The Surviving Object models the eruption of the past from within the present. The unexpected appearance of these phantoms embodies a symptom of frightening depths that have been incompletely repressed.

The Surviving Object’s struggle is to make these repressed materials visible, especially in the containment or erasure of Elizabeth Ruth Escombe/Ruth Edwards, (1832–1907) and Clementina Elphinstone Fleeming/Clementina Maude, Viscountess Hawarden, (1822 -1865) whose thought can be traced as shaping presences within the work much as, in scientific research, the characteristics of apparently absent particles can be traced from their interactions with observable materials.
