FLOATING POINTSGavin Baily, Tom CorbyAmbika P3, University of Westminster,
35 Marylebone Road, London NW1 5LSPrivate view: 6.00 pm Friday 18th
DecemberExhibition Opening hours: Saturday 19th Dec – Monday 21 Dec,
12.00-6.00We are pleased to announce a new exhibition by Gavin Baily and Tom
Corby consisting of 3 screen-based projects and an installation set within P3’s
underground galleries.The Northern Polar Studies (2015) and Minima, Maxima
(2015) are premiered, while The Southern Ocean Studies (in collaboration with
Dr Jonathan Mackenzie 2010), and Cyclone (2005 – 2015) are uniquely shown
together for the first time. All 4 works employ various forms of climate or
meteorological data to visually and physically condense the aleatory, hidden
and the systemic aspects of sites and landscapes as large-scale data animation
or installation.Art has long found ways to make tangible the Earth’s exhalation
of atmospheres and climates. This exhibition can be seen as part of this
tradition, but breaks from it by bringing contemporary scientific technologies,
data and institutions to bear to show how universal concepts of human relations
with landscape are still pertinent in a contemporary context of accelerating
climate change. Additionally, the complex entanglements of the social,
material, atmospheric and geographic explored throughout these works, extend
our feel for landscape and also our sense of how time functions in it.
Landscape through its laminations, layering and morphologies, is conceived in
this work as a recording device that tracks the Earth’s changing energy
signatures. This movement of time and matter reimagines environmental terrains
as extended temporal forms resultant from long-term changes; which we might
propose of as ‘deep time landscapes’.This work has been made in collaboration
with the British Antarctic Survey, and special thanks goes to Nathan
Cunningham, Dr Clare Tancell, Professor David Walton, Dr Beatrix
Schlarb-Ridley, Professor Mike Meredith, and Pete Bucktrout. Funding for this
work has been by Arts Council England, the Arts and Humanities Research Council
and the Natural Environment Research Council, and the Centre for Research in
Education, Art and Media at the University of Westminster.
