Get It Right / IMT Gallery, London
 
10th November – 7th December 2006
 
New video installation by the multi-disciplinary artist Alexander Costello. Get It Right spans differing environments, both globally and locally from a snow-covered field in Val D’Aosta, Italy,
to site-specific footage of IMT’s gallery interior. Costello presents ways of understanding the interaction between people, places, objects, and activities, combining improvisation with homage
and satire of 20th century art practices. Using techniques found in photography, painting, film and performance Costello describes a sensitive and resolutely existential exploration of the
practice of documenting place and activity.

In addition to the main piece the exhibition included Polaroid 2005 and Polaroid 2006. Both works present similar documents of a room in Costello’s house, in London and Milan respectively. Images appearing infront of the camera gradually reveal
posters, books, notes, photographs and influences from Bill Hicks to Bruce Mclean.
