5-9

A show of new, site specific, film and video by Dominic de Vere and Sebastian Edge, Stavros Gangos, Nicky Hamlyn, Conor Kelly and Cathy Rogers.

Unit B9 took over a 3,000sq ft industrial space in the Powerhub, Maidstone. The Powerhub building was used both as a springboard, subject and venue for the work and the opening time of 5pm to 9pm was intended to exploit the dusk to night time light of the semi-industrial urban landscape.

All the work was designed to be projected onto the windows of Unit B9, and could be viewed from the railway footbridge opposite, as well as from inside the building.

As part of the exhibition, students from the University of the Creative Arts were invited to an evening programme of film, video and sound, using work that explored responses to site specificity, architectural forms and the changing industrial landscape of contemporary Britain.
