| Lanskip (2009) Hotel Mariakapel, Hoorn, NL, Collaboration with Rebecca Birch (22 March-18 April 2009) Landskip Site >> (HMK) Hotel Mariakapel >> Rebecca Birch and Charles Danby explore the transformation of language through the vernacular of landscape, taking opposing approaches of collection and manufacture. Rebecca Birch re-edits an extensive archive of collected video while Charles Danby constructs a series of large-scale sculptural interventions that explore a collective and shared sense of landscape. ELEMENT ONE Element One focuses on the landscape and its general architectures. These are presented not as literal representations but as signatories of a new language built from basic component parts, material, text, geometry and colour. Light and shadow are central to Element One with natural daylight cast through HMK animating strong shadows and streaks of light, placing the work under a state of constant change. In a collaboration process that parallels the development of interactive online interfaces, Rebecca Birch and Charles Danby propose a re-structuring of language through the co-mergence of essentially oppositional positions, playfully locating new potentials for a subject.
