Athanasios Argianas creates ephemeral gestures in space. He simulates small incidents. The suggestion of a broken piece of glass on the floor is made with the low tech trompe l'oeil materials of glue and water. Like discarded special effects, they seem to be problems rather than works themselves. The quiet pitch of their abject status makes us question what is, or, what is not worth looking at.
Notes from conversations on the artists' work held at different times between Keith Tyson, Sacha Craddock and Simon Morrisey and between Susan Hiller, Sacha Craddock and Des lawrence.
