Stuart Middleton: Beat
Stuart Middleton鈥檚 exhibition 'Beat' explores various tensions between life
and stock. Dead material is animated whilst structures that once contained
bodies stand drained and useless. In 'Beat' a stop-frame animation shows
an undernourished dog prowls around in a white cell which suggests the
white-washed austerity of vivisection laboratories, euthanasia clinics and art
galleries. Large sculptures, recycled and adapted for the main gallery reference
both modern industrial agriculture and historical site-specific
artworks.
鈥楤eat鈥� was originally commissioned by the
ICA, London and has been reconfigured for Tramway鈥檚 main gallery.
