Technology and film artist Jan Frith from Ryde presents a solo retrospective exhibition featuring a range of time-based media in work which has only previously ever been shown as individual pieces in London: Super 8 film as a looped installation; video; electronic digital traces using bespoke software combined with a body sensor; and phonograph recordings.
The exhibition will be open from Wednesday 28th September until Sunday 2nd October 2016 at The People’s Gallery, 68 Union Street, Ryde daily between 10:30 until 16:30 (except Sunday closing at 14:30).
Jan was previously shortlisted for the Prospects Drawing Prize 2004 with her Loop Box installation; a complete unedited length of super eight film that moves as a continuously changing loop inside a perspex box using a projector.
She says:
“My work often contrasts the historical contexts of technologies, exposes the material aspects of technology, or human/technological relations. I also explore control and chance in the process of making. It will be interesting to review the works seen here collectively for the first time and to a local audience. They are all quite fragile to re-stage, especially the super eight and phonograph pieces.”
Jan moved to the Isle of Wight from London 8 years ago and has a new studio at home. She is a member of Artspace Portsmouth, an Aspex Gallery Associate and has recently joined TRAC – The Ryde Art Collective.
