Solo event at the Outpost Gallery Norwich:
Unsatisfactory Unification of Control
12 August, 6pm – 9pm
This piece explores the potential of a complete sculptural environment that investigates my interests in structures, systems and institutions that control behaviour.
The gallery space is seen as the foundation of a single sculptural activity to articulate space using the compositional rules of choreography combined with sculptural props and the involvement of the audience. The complete environment is based on the abstraction of various power structures that control the body through colours, signs and hand signals for both the performers and the audience. Four choreographed bodies will perform defined patterns of movement as controllers exposing the overarching sculptural order and providing instruction to the sculptural space.
Upon entering the gallery, the audience is given a colour-coded board and therefore becomes implicated into this sculptural activity. The audience will have a choice to be either a passive spectator, or an active participant, who respond to the colour coded hand signals of human controllers. All elements within the gallery space become a part of the sculptural structure.

I have now come back from my trip to North Korea (DPRK) care of the Dolbey Travel Scholarship Award. Finally getting back into the studio to embark on some new sculptures inspired by my experiences. Also I’m producing some long awaited woodcuts to be printed on rice paper that I picked up in China.

The final work is described in Art Slant:
“Kristin Sherman’s work was equally as exciting with an installation in the basement. Sherman has constructed a forced viewing room so to say. The room was filled with a large platform with a number of holes cut out to view the work from. One would need to crouch and find hole to stick their head through. The video was almost like a learning video with action’s corresponding to numbers. When numbers are read out the actors on screen would alter their movements in specific ways. Whilst the actors recite learned behavior the audience is learning the code to their behavior.”
