Max Hattler

SHIFT

9 March until 28 April 2012

PV: 8 March, 7 - 9pm

SHIFT is Max Hattler’s first solo show in London. By transforming the lower gallery into his cinematic interpretation of an apocalyptic shift, this new work approaches the viewer with both uncanny relevance and visual transcendence. As we face a transition from a comfortable four-dimensional existence through to a fifth dimension, the animations in SHIFT combine science-fiction themes through colour, movement and shape. This exhibition will premiere the work completed by Hattler through his Animate Projects commission for Channel 4’s Random Acts.
