The Lost Thread: Rogue Studios
Rogue Open Studios, 1st Floor, Crusader Mill, Chapeltown Street, Manchester, 7 – 9 October 2011
Anna Frew, Dante Between the Realms
Organised by Dave Griffiths & Joe Duffy: “This show brings together 5 artists who share an archaeological urge, encompassing film, publishing, print, photography, sculpture and embroidery. The Lost Thread inhabits a passing place between analogue and digital worlds, reinventing old media and devices as future formats for reading the image. Joe Duffy’s slide-viewer installation explores authenticity, memory and trauma from appropriated eye-witness accounts of a famous death. Anna Frew investigates the Kindle’s intersection of traditional paper and E-Ink book-making. Dave Griffiths‘ microfiche plate offers the opportunity to reconstruct a model human from photographic remains, and Mary Stark creates tactile woven artefacts from abandoned celluloid film. Claire Thomas‘ handmade film installation provides an insight into personal recollection locked in a physical space, whilst also remarking on the recently bankrupt knitting factory in which this exhibition takes place.
The Lost Thread also launches a new Kindle zine Etching in E-Ink, designed and edited by Anna Frew and published by Vapid Media. Featuring images and texts by the artists, it can be downloaded from Amazon, price 86p!
