Ceal Floyer.KUNSTHALLE BERN Bern or Berne (1990 pop. 136,338), the capital, is also the capital of Switzerland. Situated within a loop of the Aare River, the city is a university, administrative, transportation, and industrial center. Its manufactures include precision instruments, textiles, machinery, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and chocolate. Karachi Karachi (kərä`chē), city (1998 pop. 9,269,265), largest city and former capital of Pakistan, SE Pakistan, on the Arabian Sea near the Indus River delta. The capital of Sind prov., it is Pakistan's chief seaport and industrial center, a transportation, commercial, and financial hub, and a military headquarters.-born, London-based Ceal Floyer creates evocative installations by the sparest of means. In a past show, for example, she simply placed a ballooning black garbage bag by the doorway of the exhibition space; in another "white cube" she pinned a cash-register receipt (also white) to the wall, documenting her purchase of, you guessed it, white items - flour, candles, mozzarella. In Bern the artist is showing new work: video installations, sound pieces, and "Ink on Paper," a series of drawings made by pressing felt-tip pens onto blotting paper until all of the ink has been extracted. Available Light, a photograph made specially for this exhibition, shows only a small lamp, bulb to the wall, its shade turned to the viewer. Oct. 16-Dec. 5, 1999. |
