Janice Kerbel: Kill the Workers!
January 21 – April 8, 2012
Exhibition

Janice Kerbel’s recent work Kill the Workers! continues the London-based artist’s engagement with codified language and the elements of theatrical composition. A rigged system of theatrical lights is used to portray the ambitions of a lone spotlight attempting to achieve a state of “open white.” Dramaturgy and narrative progression are alluded to through changes in beam intensity, colour, pattern and direction. With these cues, the lights become both the characters and mechanics of the composition, sharing the roles of staging and performing.
