Michael Craig-Martin – Exhibition Installation 1977 (Part 2)
Additional Information
Exhibition installation. Begins with a cut and zoom that reveals an elongated gallery space being filmed with a handheld camera. There is a neon-lit arrow on the opposite wall. Two men are conversing and installing parts of an exhibition as the camera pans, zooms, and is carried about the room. There are sounds of construction, indiscernible conversation, and whistling as the camera continues to move around the gallery space. The focus of this footage appears to be 3 men installing a small, box-like wooden structure. The shot is not continuous and is interrupted at intervals by cutting to different parts of the room to focus on aspects of the installation. The middle of the film seems to be shot from above, perhaps from the top of a ladder, and looking down at the construction within the gallery space. Ends with a brief cut and zoom in on a man in a white shirt installing a four-part wall installation. As he drags a pencil along the top of the installation, the footage cuts.
