Video work, installation and performance dominated the Reading Show. Highlights included the joint presentation put on by a number of artists in the main studio, including Kara Dennis’ vast and amorphous structures. Caroline Weaver showed a mixed media installation, playing audio of political leaders from Thatcher to Clegg emerging from the replicated facade of 10 Downing Street. Zoe Gray’s ‘scripted installation’, an arranged encounter, was rife with the tensions and pressures inherent to the interview situation. Katherine Moon presented a fantastic and overwhelming photographic triptych of some fundamentals of human and animal life.
