MASH will be a one off exhibition of three artworks and a pamphlet. The work and writing intends to serve as a study into what the group perceive as the contemporary meme of mountains. Robin Shepherd is installing site-specific photographs of landscape into the project space. Shepherd has cut the ripples of an ocean into the cracks of the floor, squeezed a valley into a sawn slit and squashed a peak into a gouged brickwork hole. In an attempt to brainwash herself with the perfect image Fleur Elise Melbourn aims to utilise a stroboscopic technique to induce visual stimuli using her ‘random-mountain-selection-inducing-strobe’‘. Kate Liston’s split screen video silently explores a cryptic arrangement of pyramids, pot plants and plans alluding to real spaces and histories. The work is elucidated by the essay Just Because I’m Paranoid Doesn’t Mean It’s Not True which dwells on the recurrent phenomena of triangular forms in historic and contemporary culture. Writer and curator Sarah Jury’s contribution proposes to expand on her writing about the theoretical and physical possibilities of islands. Fleur Elise Melbourn will design the pamphlet, graphically representing the strands of the show and will also contribute the digestion of her many notes on the search for the perfect mountain. MASH is a FoodFace project curated by Gareth Owen Lloyd and Richard Butler.
