The Immense Ventriloquism<\/em>, Platform side view (detail), nationalmuseum, Berlin. TC McCormack (2017).<\/p><\/div>\n

The second in a series of evolving exhibitions The Immense Ventriloquism<\/em> \u2013 Part.2 explores the nature of display, the conditions of exhibiting and even how we look at art. Part artwork and part exhibition architecture: TC McCormack presents a hybrid-display structure at nationalmuseum<\/a>, introducing a discrete sense of disorientation and altering our viewing experience. Featuring a series of suspended surfaces, this soft structure speaks to the evasiveness of optical registers, dissembling patterns and an ungraspable slippage of surface.<\/p>\n

This exhibition presents an intimate and immersive selection of prints, paintings and films, and when viewed collectively reveal liminal and emergent qualities. Certainly they elude and challenge any positional or situational play, this gathering of exquisite voices pass up on the measures: indeed they seem to speak through us.<\/p>\n

We are living through challenging times, The Immense Ventriloquism<\/em> is sympathetic with that perceptible desire to re-mystify the world, to loosening the pervasive and persistent traditions of logic and reason, while recognising that we \u2018only sound and look like badly pronounced half-finished sentences\u2019.[1]<\/p>\n

The title The Immense Ventriloquism<\/em> takes inspiration from a poem by Wallace Stevens, \u2018Not Ideas About the Thing but the Thing Itself\u2019.[2]<\/p>\n
