Abstract
“Context is Half the Work”.
APG (Artist Placement Group,1971) .
“Place/Displace” is an exhibition about the importance of context. It creates disjuncture as it removes a jigsaw piece from its place, forcing us to examine it ,and its place, anew.
It is also an exhibition about the relationship of people to place, re-examining land and landscape, people and industry, the ethic of work, and its effect on our lives.
“Place/Displace” incorporates sculpture, prints, video and drawings, with commissioned new work specific to and in response to Rochdale and the north-west, enabling the viewer to scrutinize familiar places and buildings in new way.
Jill Randall’s work is firmly rooted in contemporary sculpture practice, making and materiality, and comprises objects, installation, prints and drawings. Conceptually driven, the work exploits the qualities and associations of materials, currently metals and found objects, and often involves the recycling of materials invested with history and narrative through their past use. Jill Randall enjoys playing with, and subverting the conventions and values of modernist abstract sculpture, the ‘truth to materials’ and the autonomous art object. It questions notions of material value, and reveals an interest in the unfinished and incomplete, the broken and damaged. It celebrates the aesthetic of ugly and abject, improvised and ‘ad hoc’.
..”It always surprises me but where art comes from is spiritually much closer to the dump and discard of the culture.....Provincialism or coarseness or unculture is greater for creating art than finesse or polish .”
“Perfection”, David Smith by David Smith, Sculpture and Writings, Edited by Cleve Gray, Thames & Hudson.1988.
