The Golden Thread Gallery is proud to present Commodity Form, the first collaborative exhibition by Colin Darke and David Mabb. Commodity Form, a two-person exhibition by Colin Darke and David Mabb, features two substantial bodies of work with interlinking concerns. The Capital Painting, a series of 480 paintings from Colin Darke, follows on from a previous work, Capital, which consisted of 480 found objects (laminated) onto which had been transcribed the three volumes of Karl Marx�s Das Kapital. The paintings do not contain the transcriptions, but rather use the depiction of the objects to question the means of production. Rhythm 69 is composed of a series of 70 paintings. Pages from a block-printed William Morris wallpaper pattern book from the 1960s have been glued onto individual canvases. A number of images by Hans Richter are sequentially painted onto each page from the Morris wallpaper pattern book. The Hans Richter images are from a storyboard from 1970 for a proposed animated film Rhythm 25 based on sketches by Kasimir Malevich, dating from 1927. The result is a sequential dialectical exchange between Malevich�s work as interpreted by Richter and Morris� utopian designs. The 550 works will be shown overlapping around the gallery space, creating a dialogue while retaining their own autonomy. A fully illustrated book will be available to accompany the exhibition. |
