From digital to physical space, and back again; ‘recess presents’ was to be shown in the ACE Open gallery, forming a dedicated investigation of experimental video in a physical space. Now, in what curator Olivia Koh calls a circular turn, the exhibition can be seen online. Each week, a new video screen will appear, streaming for two weeks only; ‘As one work is phased out another appears, so that the sequenced works inform each other like a string of sentences, or a body spinning in the landscape.’
