Vidicon Inscriptions:
The Tape shows the Hall’s approach to video experiementation with the video
as it registers the motion of a polaroid shutter as it burns on to a “vidicon”
tube.
The other video shown in the exhibition is the TV Fighter (Cam Era Plane) which creates
a seamless connected timeline between two videos of a footage of a World War II
fighter target image against another image. The overlap presents the past with
the present seemingly allowing the two images coincide together as if they are
both travelling together in a vacuum.
Displacement (Removal Piece) is an image of a photograph of an image of a reproduced installation of Hall’s work “removal” which was done by sanding down the gallery floor.
The Richmond Park Series are a series of 5 black and white photographs he took in Richmond Park in London.
Cinema is a series
of 5 films: Actor, Between, Edge, This Surface and View. The films were made with Tony
Sinden and were exhibited at Tate in 1974. Through the shaping of traditions
and techniques of film, the films explore the comparison between the
materiality of the screen to the image that is being projected.
“Striking in its prescient re-interpretation of both the Minimalist Sculpture of the 1960s, of which Hall was part of, and the post-Minimalist artistic hybridity of the 1970s, which he helped to create” – Chrissie Isle on A Situation Envisaged
