Bunkley<br />

‘Sheep Jet Head’ tied for the third most-referenced piece by the press and was<br />

mentioned at least four times. Since the exhibition the practitioner has adopted<br />

the lighting configuration that was used at CityLab as part of the work when it<br />

was shown at the New Zealand Film Archive – Wellington, 8 June - 23 June,<br />

Open Call 7. ‘Chicken Soup From Mars’ by London-based Ben Woodeson 111<br />

consists of fourteen pairs of handmade electromagnets mounted on cardboard<br />

boxes, plugged into the wall and placed on the floor in two locations in the<br />

exhibition. The piece reflects Woodeson’s ongoing interest in technology,<br />

communication and how we treat and/or trust information. Each individual<br />

work taps out a Morse code text from or about self-help manuals. The<br />

individually titled works combine to form ‘Chicken Soup From Mars’.<br />
