Short description I wrote for the Gertrude mail-out:
Each artist featured in this exhibition has nominated an object, a surface, and a light source. Together,
these three elements constitute a setup. Each setup has been photographically documented by the
curator from the same aerial vantage, using default camera settings. The exhibition will consist of
photographs of the setups accompanied by a list of the contributing artists, the specific elements of
their setup, and the date, time, and location of its documentation.
FREE FEUDAL BARTER STORE
Gertrude Contemporary is pleased to present a new project by
Christopher L G Hill in Studio 12.
Free feudal barter store
is an exploration of the processes and implications of redistribution,
exchange, swapping, bartering and donation. Through the exchange and gifting of
ideas, objects and commodities, this project realises the inherent
freedom within arts relation to Capital, with a relation to anarchist ideas
and feudal sensibilities. While engaging with modes of display
common among second hand and opportunity shops, Hill’s store in Studio12
operates as both a gallery/studio and as a striation of fiscal and gift
economies.
Typically Hill’s work negotiates ideas of freedom as mediated through the self, others and objects. He uses the language of objects to undulate between the objective and the subjective in both a concrete and emotional way. Hill’s work explores the ways that anarchist ideas are present within inter-personal relations materialising within free intellectual property, publications, performance, object dialogues, poetry, gestural interactions, hyper links and web interfaces. In his work debris and words float on floors and pages like a temporal mist, multi-directional and multidisciplinary, operating as a lived politic and art, active and in flux. Hill’s gestures, sounds, dislocated words and objects form a language, which is left wide open to multiple readings and dialogues.
