‘Camshafts in the Rain’ is a new work that draws upon the history of automata and the use of clockwork mechanisms to animate public space. Chetwynd’s exhibition will see the gallery collaged with photocopied imagery to resemble a scaled-up version of the miniature paper theatres that were popular amongst children in the 19th century.
Conceived as a ‘loop of continuous action’, Chetwynd’s installation will place visitors inside the performance space. Visitors will encounter a succession of paper proscenium arches and a series of ‘automaton’ – sculptures that will also feature in the performances scheduled during the exhibition.
