Robert Orchardson Endless Faade

'Endless Facade' is a new installation which partially revisits stage sets designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1955. Noguchi aspired to an other-worldly feeling where abstract, mobile forms created a shifting landscape against which the play unfolded. However his designs were met with damning criticism. Fascinated by aspiration offset by failure Orchardson has revistied Noguchi's design, grasping their optimism and eventual redundancy, transforming the galleries into an immersive environment tense with possibility. Huge monochrome wall constructions, colored geometric objects, screens made of trangular forms, light and shadow, all play their part in mediating our understanding of the spaces and our view of other visitors. They create a new 'stage' in which viewers assume the position of actors. For Orchardson such machinations are key.--Nigel Prince, Director, Contemporary Art Gallery.
