Maker’s Mark at No Format Gallery [Group Show]

Inconclusive Drawing [see the video here] is a video record of abstract marks on acetate made to explore the tensions between creation and destruction, asking what we create in the act of destruction and what is destroyed when we create? Part animation, part live action and with an improvised soundtrack created as a response to the dynamic of the work’s progression and to its subsequent transformation.

Andrew Gallacher has a Master’s Degree in Fine Art from the University of Kent and his work has been exhibited at Tate Modern. He is an audio-painter, text-sculptor and image-wrangler exploring the liminal interstice between constructed narrative and periphrastic assembly.

Meshes Presents: ExP (Experimental Film)

9th May 2018 – my short film (Video Poem) Pounding Down Your Door shown at the Genesis Cinema, Mile End Road, London E1

Pounding Down Your Door (2017) uses animated text and a complex layered soundscape of voices to engage the viewer with a rhythmic script. It is both a narrative construct and a periphrastic assembly. Simultaneously and sequentially ominous, witty, playful, sinister, insistent and gentle. Fractional revelations and fragmentary meanings are erased, replaced and erased again.
Think: if Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger smoked crack together and turned a Maria Fusco text into a CBeebies video for dysfunctional grown-ups.

Meshes is dedicated to promoting forward thinking and emerging works of moving image.

 In partnership with Genesis Cinema: Meshes is delighted to present its first edition – ExP.
ExP is an exhibition of selected short experimental films by local and international artists.
The programme composes of works exploring social identity, the performative body, and animatic expression.
