The Fruitmarket Gallery – Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller
45 Market Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1DF. 0131 225 2383Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller
A rare chance to experience the work of one of the most internationally respected artist partnerships, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. Cardiff and Miller make immersive, multimedia installations which combine images, objects, sound and music to engage all of the viewer’s senses in the creation of highly credible fictional realities. This exhibition brings together six major works made between 1995 and 2008. From the complexity of Opera for a Small Room (an installation of 2,000 records, eight robotically controlled record players and 24 speakers), or The Killing Machine (a vieweroperated, horrifically beautiful installation inspired partly by Franz Kafka’s chilling short story In the Penal Colony) to the simplicity of Road Trip (a slide presentation), the works create six new worlds, each one using what means it needs to transport us somewhere else.
