Abstract

Artist Jane Cheadle mapped the rhythms of Junction Road with charcoal, paint, water and light on the walls and floor of the Windows space, constructing a site-specific stop frame animation. Discovering the potential of the angled glass window to reflect the room back upon itself Jane worked at night, painting Archway back into the space, and capturing the process to construct the animations. Illuminated by strong lights, dressed in a bright red boiler suit, her became an enigmatic and enticing spectacle. The animations that evolved out of the painted gestures were an unexpected and delightful translation of the place outside, and survive as a reminder of an ephemeral present.

Bibliographical note

'Performed Materials' was part of 'A Million Minutes', a two-year programme of commissioned public artworks in Archway and Finsbury Park in North London. The project was initiated by Islington Council during times of austerity, and produced by AIR, a Central Saint Martins research studio which had been committed to local practice in the area for five years previously. A Million Minutes provided the opportunity for a heterogeneous group of practitioners to examine the public process, as well as to activate meaningful creative dialogue with a wide spectrum of local participants.
