Notes Part I, II & III

About

Notes Part I, II & III is a three-screen installation of recent video works by British artist Charlie Tweed. This exhibition is Tweed's first major UK solo show in a public gallery and is also the first occasion when all three instalments of the 'Notes' series will be shown together in one space. The videos will be projected in a looping sequence lasting twenty minutes, projected across the walls of the cavernous interior of Gallery Two, Spike Island. Whilst masquerading as a fiction - a future dystopia sent to us in episodes by a post-human lifeforce - Notes Part I, II & III explores contemporary systems of control and the belief systems they represent. Notes Part I (2008) - 08:00. 'We are the above'; 'Where we are now'; 'We must undo'. Notes Part II (2009) - 08:10. Navstevnici'; ‘Singularity'; ‘Ionosphere'. Notes Part III (2010) - 03:50. ‘Zappisale' Across 2008-10, Charlie Tweed created a series of seven haunting and compelling short videos which form the basis of Notes Part I, II & III. These videos appear to be transmissions from shadowy collectives who are orchestrating change on mass scale. Their plans include a world wide flood ('We are the above'), and, more mysteriously still, a movement intent on capturing all of the birds" in order to, "store them securely in places where they can operate freely" ('Where we are now').
