PERFORMING LIVE:
RICHARD CROW (UK)
Richard Crow is an inter-disciplinary artist working in the field of experimental audio research, live performance and site-specific installation. He utilises sound and noise in a performative way, for its disruptive and subjective qualities and above all for its psycho-physical implications for the listener and viewer. Crow has shown extensively in Europe, and internationally including Russia, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

DOUGLAS PARK (UK)
Douglas Park, born: 23-01-’72, United Kingdom, visual artist, writer (of literary prose and critical essays, both mostly art connected), exhibition curator and multiple practices and roles combined.
A debaucherous energy is transferred between Georges Bataille’s lewd objects and physical apparatus in his ‘Story of the Eye’, the filth shifting between physical hosts and to any space within which obscenity is afforded.
Connections exist between the new works presented in My Bataille - the material language, the visual links, the suggestion of seen and unseen activities. That these connections occur in a gallery space becomes a curious context, a type of semi-public space asking the viewer to make a commitment: How potentially erotic is a gallery? Can artworks transfer an energy between them?
What is presented lends itself to some metaphoric debaucheries between the works where the viewer becomes an important catalyst in making a connection.
