The Cabin / La Brea Residency, Los Angeles, USA
April 24th - May 27th, 2016
Hold me closer Ed it’s getting dark, is a two person show by Antoine Donzeaud and Isaac Lythgoe of new
works produced at the La Brea Artist’s Residency, Los Angeles.The show presents an immersive view of
domesticity and desire. It’s title taken from Jim Carey’s liberated, everyman Stanley Ipkiss, as he lives out his
pent up desires as the multifaceted, free speaking, Mask.
Works are utilised as dividers and furnishings, hierarchy’s regress. Donzeaud’s broken window paintings are
John Divola in 3D and at once a nod to architectural redevelopment in progress.
A bed, a snug, a lamp, chair, fruit bowl…
We are in a surrealist Home Depot. Lythgoe’s two sleeping Michael Jackson’s appear tucked up behind silk
sheets. They are dreams of success and a posterised homage. A ladybug love nest acts out life’s cycles and
interactions in real time. Forming relationships, eating, sleeping.
Demarcations of space are reminiscent of the sprawling scenes in Lars Von Trier’s Dogville, or MTV Cribs’
Snapchat rebirth. Part set, part stage, lines are walls and between them the echoes of desirous habitation.
