Brian Eno

Free Admission
Fabrica
is delighted to be presenting 77 Million Paintings as part of Brighton
Festival 2010 and to be working with Brian Eno in his role as this
year's Guest Artistic Director.
Time and a play of light in the darkness; a striking image of the
human condition and a contemporary focal point for quiet reflection.
77 Million Paintings by Brian Eno is a painting installation in
light that is slowly and continuously changing within a composition
of high definition video screens.
Translucent and richly coloured abstract images, mainly hand drawn
on 35mm slides, form component elements that are almost imperceptibly
overlaid, reconfigured and transformed as each moment passes.
Reminiscent in form and scale to a stained glass window or mosaic
design, 77 Million Paintings creates an architectural focus for
reflection and orientation in both a physical and symbolic sense.
Positioned in the former chancel area of the gallery it presents
us with an immersive, meditative, secular piece integrated in a
contemplative, majestic and once religious building.
As a reversal of our familiar and modern perception of the sights
and sounds around us as recordable and endlessly repeatable events,
77 Million Paintings requires surrender to an inevitable course
of change.
Monumental in scale, duration and thematic scope this work underscores
our essential human and ephemeral nature.
