CLARE GASSON
Clare Gasson looks to cinematic space and experience, though concentrating on
sound, and the imagination of the audience – looking to the atmospheric and sensate.
The work is often presented via sound systems. This may take the form of a CD for CD
walkmans, or the sound may come out of a monumental sculpture/speakers.  She is
interested in questioning the authority of the medium. The work is disseminated
through different media – often too these are repeated, for example the narration on the
limited edition CD is also to be shown as a script in a journal.
