LIFE’S TOO SHORT Words: Artbug A
It was a warm sunny (lay and what better way to make use of it than to have a spot ol lunch at the bright and airy liuitmarket Gallery cafe in Edinburgh betore doing to the newly opened exhibition? How ciyilised or so I thought.
I uncli was great. don't get me wrong. It was the post lunch entertainment in the Visions for the Future V exhibition which soon turned my mood.
Call me old fashioned, but I have never been enamoured when | see Video as the staple diet of any exhibition. It's not because I don't enjoy Video work. it's more that it rather arrogantly makes demands on your time and so requires some effort and attention. It's not the kind of stutt you can shoot round in live minutes before deciding it what's on display is worthy of further attention. In my experience. and I've seen a lair tew, 95% of the time it's not. but unwittineg you can only conclude this alter the stress of sitting through the viewnig.
Another pitfall of Video work was aptly demonstrated where Michelle Naismith's piece, Air ROW)" Mood/e Po/ar't. was supposed to be showrng. But after five minutes of waiting while a stressed—out gallery assistant struggled with the remote controls. I gave up. As I climbed the stairs I was reminded ot the recent Greysca/e exhibition at Tramway where in its third week, not one of the 14 or so videos was working. 'Nutt said.
Upstairs. the newly crowned Beck's Futures Winner Rosalind Nashashibi was displaying. Lucky for her there was something to see. Unlucky for me. though. as I had to spend the best part of a dull half-hour to see her work. by which time the sun had gone. replaced by the ineVItable rain. Life's tar too short.
