Four Full Stops - Tansy Spinks
A live, site specific performance at the Parasol Unit, Wharf Road,
London N1, April 15th 2013, responding to the work of artist Navid Nuur
in his exhibition Phantom Fuel and in particular to the work Where You
End and I Begin in which he takes the full stop at the end of his press
release and enlarges it 'until the full stop itself posits its own
objectivity,' as the press release suggests. This work is framed and
exhibited nearby whilst the performer walks the gallery, playing with
the many meanings of the word 'dots', as described by Nuur and as
understood by musicians presenting a layering of pizzicato resolutions
and cadences which act as both endings and perhaps, new beginnings.
With thanks to Navid Nuur and to Idit Nathan for videoing.
