Runaway, Success

5 August – 30 October 2011

Runaway, Success presents new photographs, videos and drawings alongside eight videos from the last ten years and, invited by Stephen Sutcliffe, a selection of rarely seen films by the filmmaker Gary Conklin. This exhibition focuses on Sutcliffe’s study of self doubt and the idea of what it means to be ‘cultured’.

Sutcliffe mines cultural history, pulling out the awkwardness of the archives of culture with a tender heart. Obsessively cutting statements from literature, theatre, film and television, the artist represents material in juddering, cut-up videos that shine with the brightness of glimpsed moments caught on a late night television.
