ELLIOTT MICKLEBURGH
Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.
“In a world driven by constant exposure to images and
the arrays of communications media that write, store,
and distribute this information, it is easy to become afflicted
by the idea that there is nothing around us, no
thought or object, that cannot be sensibly expressed
through the technologies of convenience that rest under
our fingertips and extend all the way to the horizon of the
visual field. This is a sort of contemporary reformation to
the philosophical aphorism stating that the boundaries
of the world are constructed by the limits of human language
and thought.
Rather than assuming that visual information is regulated
via communication into a perpetual state of accessibility,
Mickleburgh's work is invested in creating accounts of
those images that are not fully manifested in the cogent
universes of the visible and the thinkable. In 1971, for instance,
Bas Jan Ader filmed himself crying but became
so besieged by his melancholy that his tears were left
unexplained. Likewise, the very opportunity to divulge information
through the creation of art is simultaneously
rendered in these works as an opportunity to conceal
and transform something else”.
