the weight of things is an experimental exhibition of sculptural, video and sound works. A programme of artists’ moving image places sculptural installation by Rodrigo Red Sandoval and sound work by Catherine Street into a state of flux; as films start, end and overlap. Oscillating and uncertain, the objects, images and sounds explore ideas of perception, space, and the blurring boundaries of memory, reality and fiction.
The film programme, produced in collaboration with Marcus Jack, includes works by Lutz Mommartz, Semiconductor, Jonas Staal, Jenny Okun and Morwenna Kearsley.
