The end and the link to an end, coincidence, dissolution and materialization are all very close to each other in this exhibition.
About
Modified speaker sculptures amplify the recorded sounds of drawing gestures, at once hissing, tender and hatching. Dirk Bell’s ‘Ghost Drawings’ unravel a web of invisible lines across the space of BQ gallery and bear witness to the intentional absence of the images. At first glance, the grand resonating bodies (speakers) seem to be the sole agents in this theatrically staged set. Accompanied by a whitewashed coat with monumental train, this immersive sound installation intertwines aspects of theatre, performance, and spatial intervention. In what is Dirk Bell’s 10th solo show at BQ, the artist who is known for his significant paintings and drawings, approaches the visual dissolution of concrete ideas and negates their transfer into language and materiality.
