Farrago at Kite

Marina Velez and Russell Cuthbert will be showing a piece in the group show Kite



Changing Spaces coverage of the event:

Displacement at 100 Regent St.

February 16th, 2012 

Changing Spaces in collaboration with the Cambridge Film Trust presents Kitefeaturing work from a group of 9 artists exploring the theme of “displacement”.
Pete Jackson’s review describes the work of each artist: “On the ground floor, Hurst’s kinetic sculptures, which greet you as you enter the space, are at first curiously kitsch and then delightfully surprising as the robotics spring into action; Potenza’s totem pole of discarded clothing seems full of mischievous esoteric import; Cuthbert and Velez’ miniature pub with sound track is itself a haunting evocation of changing times and attitudes; whilst Poon’s trademark newspapers are beautifully transformed into a curtain of paper boats of decreasing size, conveying the dead to their rest.
On the first floor, Porter’s upended hearth with plinth/cupboard and china cat chime beautifully with some of the frames from the film itself, which is showing in the same room; Stein’s quirky kitchen inspires a mixture of mirth and mock horror; Manarakis’ prosthetic foot marches into a blank wall, and Martin’s spread of builder’s sand prostrates itself before you, a synecdochal nod to construction, and a perhaps a metaphor for the passage of time.”
