Gretchen Bender presents the first solo exhibition of the artist’s work in the UK to date and will showcase a selection of her immersive pioneering multimedia installations.
Unseen for 20 years, a major highlight of the exhibition will be a reconstruction of Bender’s seminal video performance Total Recall (1987). A monumental 24-monitor multi-projection screen installation, Total Recall explores the accelerated image-flow of television and exemplifies Bender’s concept of ‘electronic theatre’, in which she aimed to infiltrate the corporate domain of mass media representation by overloading the viewer with information.
