E-Vapour-8 at Site Gallery: REVIEW | By Nathan Jones.
Nathan Jones visits E-Vapour-8 at SITE Gallery, in Sheffield (UK) - a series of aesthetically and conceptually haunted works opening onto the death of rave - and finds an affecting, and more modern show than he was lead to expect.
Works by Fatima Al Qadiri, Daniel Swan, Petra Cortright, Rhys Coren become the characters and rooms of a labrinthine underground culture which takes emotion, history, sexuality and race as its headliners and resident evil.
E-Vapour-8 is a roup show which looks and feels about as much like a club as you would want it to. It features a series of haunted works opening onto the “death of rave” -- and what that death means, when it happened, and if it is still happening, are the most interesting questions provoked by a visit.
