"...brilliantly executed...downright compelling...art with the potential to
engage us on deeper levels..." - City Life
A series of five artists� works that ask oblique questions about how the
human experience of asylum and migration connects to the politics of local
and global conflicts. Using video, installation and digital techniques,
this exhibition features devices from Tang Dynasty poetry to interactive
software programming and sets works from professional artists alongside
those produced with local people.
Delete Where Appropriate : Local/Stranger
By Keith Piper (world premiere)
This new interactive work critically examines what defines a �stranger� as
opposed to a �local�. The viewer is invited to participate in various
scenarios that challenge their own identity, while a separate projection
integrates this data into the broader context of migration and settlement.
What If I�m Not Real
Directed by Kooj Chuhan in collaboration with Tang Lin, Aidan Jolly, Jilah
Bakshayesh, Hafiza Mohamed and Miselo Kunda-Anaku
A multi-screen installation involving a circular triptych of video
projections accompanied by a series of changing soundtracks. Through
following the conflict between three characters on rafts at sea and its
bloody conclusion, issues of asylum are visually and poetically
reconstructed within the new world order.
Dust Rising
By Aidan Jolly, in collaboration with people denied asylum and their allies
This video work examines fear, terror and persecution in the aftermath of
September 11th. It questions why Western governments are exploiting the
attack on the World Trade Centre to demonise asylum seekers and refugees.
Alem Will Stay
By Kooj Chuhan with students from Lostock High School, Greater Manchester
Based on the book Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah, the resulting video
work explores the reactions of students to discovering that one of their own
classmates is to be deported.
Desti.Nation
By Virtual Migrants
Presented as a two-screen installation, this piece is a distillation of key
elements within Terminal Frontiers probing misconceptions and presenting
facts about asylum.
