Matt Hawthorn (UK) "Haunt" Haunt is an excavation of a hidden history for an unspecified location in the Toronto area. The work consists of a performance intervention, which intersects into the mythological structures of the immediate environment. The work leaves behind a memoriam, which is a space of dwelling and imagination. The performance work is then reframed into a video work, which will be introduced by Matt Hawthorn at Xpace. My practice is founded on a concern with the interrelationship of action and environment, and moves between art, architecture, performance, video and new media. I am interested in the ways that we experience our environment and the hidden histories of the spaces we inhabit. In particular I am concerned with the processes of mythology, and the way that our perception is shaped through the interaction of truths and fictions in terms of our spaces, selves and bodies. |
