‘Employing the Stadium as a symbolic space within which the Athlete is rendered ‘hypervisual’. “A Short Sprint” will treat that relationship as a metaphor to examine the impact and visibility of Jamaican ideas, cultural forms and aesthetics upon the world. The idea of the ‘short sprint’, the explosion of frenetic energy over less than ten incident filled seconds, will itself be viewed in the context of the longer period before the ‘sprint’ begins.’
Keith Piper’s launch of “A Short Sprint” will take place at the Lakeside Gallery, Custard Factory, 6pm.
[...] ‘A Short Sprint’ will be exhibited until Friday 17th August, so you’ve still got time to check out the installation for yourself! [...]
