David Clark
109
September 6–October 5, 1996

For the past several years, David Clark’s installation work has been centred around the periodic table of elements. While the artist states that his ongoing project has developed as an investigation into scientific processes and the history of science, Clark’s work also wryly examines the chance occurrences and strange coincidences which seem at odds with –but are integral to– the scientific method. Clark was particularly interested in Artcite as a specific centre to install his work (in part) because the gallery address (109) is the same as the total number of elements in the periodic table (109).
