Curated by Anna Murray
FANTASY FANTAISIES PHANTASIE was
a one-evening presentation by Anna Murray's smart gallery, for Crawl Inclusive
2013. Anna invited Valerie Norris to create a site-specific installation for
her unique Smart Car gallery, which was located at Roseangle. Valerie made a
set of new paintings on paper specially cut to the measurements of the smart
gallery windows. The paintings were based on the idea of an abstracted
landscape viewed on an imaginary, dream-like car journey. The installation was
shown at night time, with headlights on, streetlamps shining and accompanied by
a soundtrack of Colleen et les boites a musique playing inside
the car.
