SHALLOW

Posted on 2009-11-23

Shallow is a series of original musical paintings or cut-ups composed by Malcolm McLaren from appropriated clips lifted from film which depict people just before sex. The footage is spliced, repeated and slowed down, resulting in a hypnotic, layered and provocative work. This collection of musical paintings – portraits of people preparing, thinking, desiring, wanting, wishing, anticipating to have sex, have been excavated from the ruins of pop culture: amateur sex films and pop music

Exhibition runs through to January 3rd, 2010
