5 - 29 September 1996: CARAVAN Helen Fuller CARAVAN possessed an auto-biographical/biographical element, with Helen Fuller continuing her series of works based on her late father's collections. In this work the lists, strategies and objects used and listed by her father as pertinent to a caravanning holiday, supplies, maps etc, were assembled and articulated into works by the artist. The genesis of the objects encouraged an 'in-betweeness' in our reading of the work - and perhaps in the work itself- where we had to consider the claims of the work as autonomous/formalist events, and as narrative events (as well as being determined by an existing generative structure). Ideas of memorialisation and the mechanics of mourning were invoked: the way that the raw material (inherited, or of memory) has to be re-shaped and reworked and recontexturalised before sense in the present tense can be made form the past. |
