THE DARK SHOW The Wallis Gallery

17 April to 17 May 2008
An exhibition where artworks provided the only source of light: emitting, reflecting or remaining hidden in the darkness. The physical limits of the gallery space were no longer apparent, and the visitors’ perception of space was disabled by work that appeared and disappeared as a constantly evolving series of scenes, each one different from the next.







With work by Ed Atkins, David Barbarino, Mark Barker, Julie & Maude Belgrand, Oscar Carlson, Kate Cooper, Sam Crack, Jeremy Eilers, Mathew Hale, Alexander Haßenpflug, Justin Jaeckle, Kazimierz Jankowski, Aki Nagasaka, Casper Perrin Yoakum, Rachel Pimm, Patrick Shier and Louise Weiss.
