Noah Angell, and Rana Hassanieh present an exhibition turning on the questions of the structure and use of architectural and filmic space. The works of both artists demonstrate a unease with order which has advanced into methodology. Here familiar forms are subjected to manipulation according to an improvisational logic, redirecting their use and their agency as carriers of meaning and ideology.
Noah Angell produces short films that are built from select passages of other films. By fusing source materials of divergent origin, he edits material so that new critical readings and undetected potentialities appear. His short films re-orchestrate cinematic convention and present the productive capabilities of refusal. This procedure illumines our role in contributing to a film's meaning. By reconfiguring the facade of authorship, the site of the film experience is made animate again through the violence of the cinematic edit.
Rana Hassanieh's architecturally based installations use local detritus and materials often found within deserted locations, assembling dynamic new structures from old. Hassanieh's installations are simultaneously a revitalization of spatial components and a summoning of the accumulated histories of a location. Her work arouses potent supplementary functions in buildings that are still charged with the event of their abandonment.
This will be the third in a series of interventions at this site since 2007.
