James Richards : Requests and Antisongs

21 Sep-13 Nov 2016

Overview

James Richards presents new and recent works which continue his ongoing exploration of the emotive power of appropriated digital video and sound. Taking his video Radio At Night (2015) as a starting point, Richards presents three new works which unfold and expand their compositional logic into three distinct, but linked pieces. These sit across the ICA’s Lower and Upper Galleries, separated physically, but joined conceptually across the spaces. Speaking about the exhibition, Richards explained: "My aim is to work on an exhibition that will have three parts, iterations or edits. I want to play with déjà vu, as well as a certain form of chiming, whereby works echo and reflect each other."
