Stuart Middleton: Beat

Stuart Middleton’s exhibition 'Beat' explores various tensions between life and stock. Dead material is animated whilst structures that once contained bodies stand drained and useless.  In 'Beat' a stop-frame animation shows an undernourished dog prowls around in a white cell which suggests the white-washed austerity of vivisection laboratories, euthanasia clinics and art galleries. Large sculptures, recycled and adapted for the main gallery reference both modern industrial agriculture and historical site-specific artworks. 

‘Beat’ was originally commissioned by the ICA, London and has been reconfigured for Tramway’s main gallery.
