LEDGE: Alexander Costello: His & Her
13-19 October 2010
His &
Her presented an unfolding
narrative, displaying a new text each day. These texts deal with the misinterpretation and manipulation
of language or situation, and are drawn from a growing
library of material
gathered by the artist from conversations had or overheard, and notes taken
when observing the brusque contingencies of the everyday. Through the installation at LEDGE
these texts were placed back into the everyday experience of the passer-by.
He told her not to generalise. She said "I'm not generalising, I'm talking about you".
 
She said 'dwarf' and 'wolf' sounded the same. He wasn't sure. She said he was too fussy.
He thought about what future generations would make of disused fountains.
He walked as if betrayed by his legs, unable to sustain the pace of his own thoughts and ideas.
She ate her dinner the way she knew (how), with her mouth closed and her forefinger pressed over the back of her fork. He thought about embracing the emphatic energy of order as disorder.
As they were landing she said to him "Gosh, aren't we really low".
