A Point in the Field Phoenix Gallery, Exeter This
exhibition brings together two artists who share a desire to represent the underlying ambiguities they find in objects. Together,
they reveal a perception that everything visible is in a state of flux and uncertainty, where ‘becoming’ describes
a state of being, one that embraces continuous evolution. Berlin based Anne Gathmann’s delicate interventions into public
spaces bring to the fore subtle architectural details that are not immediately apparent, highlighting the instability of our
spatial perceptions. Her works on paper – flooded with wet paint till they wrinkle and rebel against their two dimensions
– give substance (or an illusion of substance) to the ephemeral and unseen.
Morphology is the study of the form or shape of an organism, but also suggests the idea of one
thing morphing into another. In evolutionary terms morphological development throws up unexpected parallels
and confluences. For the artist, this acts as a mirror to the act of painting. From the simple to the complex,
rational to the rococo, this act of transformation in formal terms results in expanding multiplicities of
form, and thereby of content. The works connect and
reconnect through colour and form. An almost Klein blue bleeds into several paintings, serving in one as
a barely believable sky, reappearing as the electric veins of a biomorphic structure in another. MacDonald's
sculptures often explore forms that are closely allied – the series 'Resemblance' consists of four hanging,
baroquely ornamented spheres, whose titles reveal very different sources - a morel mushroom
- a hanging basket of summer flowers - a white blood cell - a
shower puff.   Istanbul 2009 WHO IS TELLING THE STORY Fiona MacDonald. Gaia Persico. George Young Ben
