Art Bollocks

For the current exhibition at Saltburn Art Gallery Arthur HD Bollocks has made five new video works that use televisions and plasma screens as 'spaces of physical and psychological containment.' The tvs and screens are, in turn, sited in a structural relationship to the architecture of the gallery. One hanging from the ceiling, one propping the door open, one in the window, one in the kitchen and one in the lavatory, thus creating 'a complex inter-dependency between object image and viewer,' according to Mr. Bollocks, who continued ' the work provides a kind of buttress against the pressures of modernity, mass production and global capitalism.'

At the time of our visit the gallery was empty and Mr. Bollocks appeared to have been watching the cup final.
