Bureau presents Dave Griffiths, 2nd - 21st July in OUTPOST presents ‘British & European Legs’, Anglia Square Shopping
Centre, Norwich, UK

An invitational project for Outpost Gallery, to coincide with Contemporary Art Norwich 2007.

In his first solo exhibition Dave Griffiths presents a body of filmworks constructed from his tenderly curated database of movie cue-dots. Gleaned over the last two years from digital TV broadcasts, Griffiths’ personal archive represents an ongoing restoration of those fleeting, but critical, time signals that regulate the illusionary changeovers between film reels. Griffiths exhibits recent films - both data-driven and linear, plus three new interactive works that place cue-dots from his collection into outmoded or ephemeral display devices. Archaic, dusty machines, from childhood cinematographic toys and microfiche, are revived to function as both expanded silent-cinema and resource for examination of cinematic remains.

From his archaeological sifting of matinee fragments, Griffiths has created exploratory works around the mechanical, aesthetic and narrative structures of celluloid. By November 2007 the cue-dot collection aims to be publicly accessible online as a resource for art-historical and creative research. These top-corner phrases of found footage provide fertile audio-visual materials with which to spin stories about the cinematic continuum, and hint at human commotion both onscreen and in the projectionist’s booth. Their imminent disappearance, as industrial casualty of digitisation, marks a sea change in cinema history. Griffiths’ depository of near-redundant ‘cigarette burns’ provides a means of remembering cinema’s outgoing physicality, and a method of enquiry into narrative and perceptual processes.

Preview: 6-9pm, Sunday 1st July 2007

Anglia Square Shopping Centre, Norwich, (see websites below for map)
Opening Times: Daily, 12 - 6pm
Admission: Free. Fully Accessible.

Sarah Jacobs

Sarah Jacobs is a sculptor whose work includes making objects, performance, installation, books on paper, and books in electronic form. She habitually makes use of everyday materials – plasticine and sticky tape, pdfs and powerpoint.

Her ‘Deciphering Human Chromosome 16: Index to the Report’ is an e-book which contains links to around 250 websites collected in the months following publication in the journal Nature of “The sequence and analysis of duplication-rich human chromosome 16″ ( Vol. 432. December 2004). Its contents change over time as the websites change, migrate or disappear. The Index sets fragments collected from the websites against the background of the earlier draft sequence originally published by Project Gutenberg. The solid physicality of the Index contrasts with the ever changing Report although vagaries of the printing process ensure that each copy of the Index is unique.

Sarah will be talking about the interaction between the physical form of her work and its meaning and about the possibilities opened up by making work in electronic form.
