Nathaniel Mellors' films people leaving the exits of a DIY store with their purchases. At a certain point he makes exactly those purchases and later he arranges this material, in the gallery, to achieve an informal sculptural assemblage. Using the mechanism of an arbitrary system, presumably, frees him to explore aesthetics without the guilt of choice; in a constant search to find form.
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.
