Abstract
The Scale of Things
Grace Ndiritu, Saodat Ismailova, Margaret Tait
Exhibition: 26 January – 6 April 2024
Venue: Cooper Gallery, Dundee
A cross-disciplinary curatorial project, The Scale of Things brought together artist’s moving image works by three significant women filmmakers from different generations and culture backgrounds: Jarman Award 2022 winner British-Kenyan artist Grace Ndiritu’s Becoming Plant (2022), Uzbek filmmaker Saodat Ismailova’s The Haunted (2017), and the pioneering Scottish filmmaker and poet Margaret Tait’s Aerial (1974).
Cu-curated by Hao and Sarah Perks, the project re-considered the implication of Tait’s 1960 poem The scale of things in 2024 – an age of climate emergency, foregrounding Tait’s ‘interlaced and inter-related’ possibility of human beings as co-constituents of nature to unsettle how humans imagine and see ourselves as part of nature through the unique Lense of visual language of artist’s moving image.
