Tether are pleased to present ‘Trans Chaosmos Facility’ by Paul Eachus, including specially commissioned videos by Nooshin Farhid. Eachus has produced an architectural structure that has transformed The Wasp Room, operating as an antagonism to the permanency of the designated space. It is, as the word ‘trans’ in the title suggests, a transient, nomadic and flexible structure, impermanent and disruptive. There are acknowledged references to the ‘Merzspace’ of Kurt Schwitters, and as such is “an object without boundaries, aleatory, accidental and sprawling… a new concept of political space or ‘platform’”. Though this structure has an architectural appearance it is constructed without any architectural ‘principles’ and is, in a sense, a kind of anti-architecture; an art object built as a performative event rather than to a set of plans. The incomplete is manifested in the work as a space in the process of collapsing, between stability and solidity, between instability and total collapse. This ‘space between’ becomes one of tension and potential, of immanence and new possibilities. Eachus has invited the artist Nooshin Farhid to make a group of videos that ‘intervene’ into this newly constructed space. The artist has also produced a publication published by Article Press which will be available to purchase from the gallery. Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and The Henry Moore Foundation.
