Hilary Lloyd: Studio #2
Frieze Art Fair, Stand C13
14 Oct – 18 Oct 2009
At Frieze Art Fair 2009, Sadie Coles HQ will install a solo project by British artist Hilary Lloyd. The gallery’s booth will house Studio #2 (2009), a walkthrough installation comprising four video projections on separate walls, a version of the work which was premiered at Le Consortium, Dijon earlier this year. Shot in Lloyd’s studio, each video is a silent and meticulous study of reflected light. The play of light across an ambiguous material – variously suggestive of Mylar, glass, water or mere haze – is captured to create fields of ethereal filmic and painterly abstraction: a dazzling white shard refracts light prismatically into beams; while on another wall concentric bands shimmer like giant eyes, calling to mind a psychedelic painting.
