Remote Control

This exhibition features work by over 30 artists who have explored both the social and cultural impact (good and ill) of the television set. In the downstairs galleries a row of television sets play a mix of archive artists’s videos, while the concourse and upstairs galleries present a broad and, as a whole, contemporary selection of works, such at Hito Steyerl’s installation ‘Red Alert’, (2007), three wall-mounted monitors each playing an image of plain glowing red, which is a pleasing play on both minimalism and danger, especially as the screens emit a faint, but discernable heat.
