And So It Goes
Selected editorial:
By Elisabeth Mahoney
Things are more serene in the selection of work by Heather and Ivan Morison, especially their work Dark Star, which looks like a '70s prog-rock album cover and has a heady, hypnotic quality. Over slides of dreamy, sun-bleached Arizona landscapes, they layer animated images of spinning, ominous forms, like glossy meteorites falling to earth in slow motion.
All four artists produce work with a curiously detached air and a fascination with process. The exhibition is not the same as the grand, charismatic Venice presentation, but has taken on a new life in this revised incarnation. That, the work on show back in Cardiff reminds us, is how it goes.
