The Move

Apr 17, 2001
Field:

Exhibition

Location:

Western Front

Description:

The Move, taken from one of Tim Lee’s works of the same name, featured performative video- and photo-based works that played with the conventions and tropes of high modernism through deadpan humour and irony. 

Using multiple depictions of his own image, Lee created a series of enclosed conversation loops based on his interest in systems of communication, and a process of reintroducing certain historical forms to a contemporary practice. 

An exhibition opening took place Apr 27, 2001. This exhibition was part of the Popular Format series.
