Colin Duncan

Night time seems to lurk provocatively in the greater part of Colin Duncan's catalogue of videos, installations and wallworks ...

The new wall works, flat templates made from acrylic sheet, enter into the symbolic realm of signage, template decorations, and the now ubiquitous sms shorthand visual menu. But what do they mean? Whereas most pictograms operate within an agreed system of information exchange, Colin's templates seem to me to be either deliberately obtuse or overtly straight-forward ... Titles for these otherwise innocent symbols tend to prove that there are more meanings to be extracted from an encounter with the symbolic.
