Linda Post’s Cozy (Dismal Hollow) presents an unending car journey via first person camera work that places the viewer in the driver’s seat. A fitted canvas monitor cover diffuses the video image and specificity of place, focusing on the continual state of being in transit. This concept is echoed in both form and title by the looped stereoscopic audio work In Transit. An experiential sound journey recorded with a binaural microphone built by the artist, the work is presented on wireless headphones which retain the spatial quality of the recorded sound while allowing free movement throughout the exhibition space. Physical and aural space are experienced with an uncanny simultaneity and dislocation.
A continual shift through time plays a key role in viewing a collaborative work between Donaldson and Post that utilizes the changing spectrum of light between day and night. The collaboration encompassing not only the transition between day and night but also the parallel transfer of ownership. By day, Donaldson's Always on the Horizon consists of a suspended curtain of white fabric containing an embroidered bridge scene. Hanging in front of a wall of windows, the piece is seen as a silhouette drawing during the early daylight hours, which fades with the light to becomes a white on white embroidery as the gallery lights become more dominant from in front of the work. By night the piece transforms into a two sided screen for an after-hours video projection by Linda Post. Sombra is a video projection consisting entirely of shadows. Ater the gallery has closed for the evening, the silent projection is viewed from the closed glass gallery doors inside the building and through a wall of windows separating the exhibition space from an outdoor courtyard.
