Jennifer Taylor at The Wapping Project – ‘Ground Control’ Private View 10th Feb 2011
Curator of the Wapping Project tower series, CHRISTIAN FERREIRA presents a new site-specific installation by Jennifer Taylor in the tower of the old hydraulic power station at The Wapping Project. She is the second artist to be selected for this year-long series of commissions.
With Ground Control as the title, Taylor invites us to enter into the mythical reality of David Bowie’s song ‘Space Oddity’. Suspended in the tower, her floating playground perhaps exists in another realm or in a hallucination where The Earth’s laws of gravity and logic do not apply. Bizarre apparatus, and malformed equipment hover in the cavernous tower. Perhaps this is some perverse form of therapy room in an out-posted asylum, where futile activities have been created to either occupy or torment its patients. In Bowie’s metaphorical song, a fictional astronaut called Major Tom looses radio contact with Ground Control and floats off into oblivion. It seems that Taylor offers a similar escape route out of the confines of her tower; obsessively bound in white rags, a pre-existing ladder is revived and scales the back wall. This continues all the way up to an opening, which leads out onto the roof, providing a platform from which to jump. This almost transforms the tower into a place of limbo, a purgatory between a trapped existence and an imagined point of transcendence.
