Transition: Curator's Edition Week 1: 23rd to 27th January 2008: GreenCube and Higher Academy of Happiness psycho/geography Upper Gallery, Newlyn Art Gallery Curated by GreenCube There is an aura of contemplation in the Upper Gallery of the Newlyn Art Gallery: an otherworldly sound gently resonates throughout the space, like a hi-tech Gregorian chant. The choral sound 'Aquarius', created by Nigel Ayers, is a generative audio work for eight stereo speakers. The spinning laser is 'Wish We Weren’t Here' by Paul Chaney, used previously to create photographs in the landscape depicting the raised sea-levels resulting from global warming. In 'Raising the Eathorne Stone', by Paul Chaney & Steve Patterson a small DVD player stands on a plinth, and in front of it is a simple A4 plastic display book.
In 'Cornish Shrew Mysteries', also by Chaney, a snapshot is enlarged to a colossal size of a hand offering three dead baby shrews to the camera. Standing on another plinth is a small open cardboard box.
