TEMPLE WORKS GALLERY
A NEW SPACE: TWO NEW INSTALLATIONS

Sean Loughrey: 33/45 (Projected Images No. V)

Ivan Pope: In mourning for nothing

A new London exhibition space is launched on April 6th by two installation artists. The ground floor of Temple Works in Brett Passage, Brett Rd, Hackney E8 will house two new installations during April. The space will open on the evening of April 9th at 6pm for an evening viewing. It will subsequently be open on Saturdays and Sundays during April, from 12 - 6pm. The space can also be opened at other times by arrangement.

SEAN LOUGHREY - 33/45 (Projected images 1V)

Sean Loughrey is an Australian installation artist who works with projections. Whilst in the U.K. he has devoted his time for over two years to a series of "site-specific" projections at landmarks in Essex and London. The sites have included a demolished hotel, a renovated yacht club, Hadliegh Castle and the Elephant and Castle shopping centre.
33/45, the fifth work in the series, is envisaged as a collaged environment, similar to that executed at the Elephant and Castle. This installation uses vinyl records in conjunction with projected images.
On the one hand the work seeks to explore the historical relationship music has had with the visual arts and more recently with the cinema, encompassing all aspects of artistic activity. Yet, on the other hand that focus is a plastic thing, not something irrevocably stamped down by the artists sense of magic weight'."

Ivan Pope: In mourning for nothing

Ivan Pope is a London artist working with found objects to create installations. In Mourning for Nothing is part of his current 'year of installation', which started on Jan 1 st 1991 and will continue until the end of the year. The installation was recently taken for a 'holiday' to the Sheffield Media Show, where it masqueraded as 'Please, I want...' for a week. The installation is 'in progress' and will continue after the public show.
In Mourning for Nothing creates an 'inner space' that both includes and excludes. Some things are placed on the inside and some on the outside, a sort of memory game.
I refuse to mourn, 1 remain optimistic, though my invented memory and experience tells me otherwise. 1 talk about a past that 1 am not allowed to have. 1 bring to your attention certain inclusions and exclusions."
