Description

Crash Course - Solo exhibition by Erica Scourti opening at Gloria Gallery on Thursday, September 29th 2011 at 19.30. The exhibition will be open until October, 11th 2011.

Crash Course develops Erica Scourti’s interest in text, language and processes of translation and transcription in an installation of drawings and video that explore transmission of bodies of knowledge, old and new technologies and the role of the artist as giver and receiver of instructions.

Using the internet as a bank of historical and current knowledge, the exhibition draws on audio-book podcasts, Google search suggestions and online photo/ video banks to explore ways of navigating a course through the mass of information available online. Casting the artist into the role of both teacher and student, the works employ different pedagogic and educational models such as transcription, editing and essay-writing as processes to create the work.
