Spatial Drifts
Leeds Art Gallery, Leeds (UK), 2021

Spatial Drifts extends the Central Court architecture recorded and re-configured to form new parallel experiences of the gallery as sculpture, moving image and performance.

In 2017, while Leeds Art Gallery was in a period of transition and closed for renovation, fragments of the changing fabric of the building during different stages of uncovering the Central Court gallery were recorded using a series of mixed media tools and systems. The re-situated works in the Central Court at Leeds Art Gallery formed new connections between past, present and possible future versions of the space.
