'B42'

Poster commission for B42 exhibition, Birmingham UK, 21 - 30 October 2011.

The text is from an ongoing series, taking texts read by the artist on art, neuroscience and perception, and making a work based on a random selection. There are several texts juxtaposed here for this work - specifically Brian O'Doherty's Inside the White Cube, various Art & Language texts,the artist's own notes and work titles, Paul Churchland's 'Matter and Consciousness' and Wittgenstein's 'Philosophical Investigations'.

The juxtaposition is intended to come across as a kind of art 'spam' - abstract blocks of text which seem to be from a specific source but out of context are meaningless and are textual diarrhoea. The series is usually printed out in extremely large posters, over double A0 size, and each poster pulls a random text from a different book or research paper.

Intererestingly here, McAree has placed several on the one page, which over the course of editing has led him to try and maintain some sort of thread throughout the juxtapositions, whereas before the cuts were entirely random. So if you can break your way past the confrontational font there is a narrative of sorts within.

Some copies left, please get in touch for details.
