Kathleen Herbert : Stable 26 September - 26 October 2008 Private View: Thursday 25 September 6-9 pm Kathleen Herbert uses the medium of performance and documentary to question and engage with the historical and contemporary functions of space. This will be Herbert�s first solo show in London. Herbert�s super 16mm film Stable was produced in response to a residency at Gloucester Cathedral. One night she brought horses into the Cathedral to walk freely through and explore the architecture of the space. The piece is inspired by a single comment made in a Cathedral guide that, during the Commonwealth period, Puritan troops, in an act of political bravado, used the Cathedral to stable horses. Through use of the uncanny, the film blurs boundaries between fact and fiction, myth and reality, investigating ideas around superstition, rituals and histories. Hebert draws out the apparent uninteresting or unspoken, redefining social, political, historic spatial narratives. Born in 1973, Kathleen Herbert lives and works in London. She has received several major awards from the Arts Council England South West, British Council and Bristol O�Porto Association. In 2005 she was nominated for the Becks Futures Award and has recently been awarded a development bursary from Film & Video Umbrella. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally, including Sint Lukas Gallery, Brussels (2008) Auckland Triennial (2004), Out of Site, Arnolfini (2004), Time & Again, Crawford Gallery, Cork (2003), The Heimlich/Unheimlich, RMIT Gallery, Melbourne (2002), SCAPE, Art & Industry Biennial, Christchurch (2002), BOP, Gallery Caldeira 213, Porto (2001), The Silk Purse Procedure, Arnolfini & Spike Island, Bristol (2001).
