About
Ref
In and out of the gobbleydook dome,
To find psychic reasoning amongst that gated community.
or
Out and in of the habbleykood pyramid,
To lose empirical understanding amongst the open flowers.
McCreadie will be installing a new manifestation of work created around his In Hinterland project, previously exhibited at Gallery North and the Star and Shadow Cinema, Newcastle.
Ref continues McCreadie’s construction of a post-apocalyptic narrative. Through video, installation, print and sculptural works McCreadie creates characters and objects engaged in reconstructing ways of living from natural and cultural detritus detached from purpose and taxonomy. The feature-length film In Hinterland sits at the centre of this work, depicting the end of a glacially slow apocalypse. The majority of this work was created through the Warwick Stafford Fellowship at The Baltic and Northumbria University.
