Abstract (English)A catalogue and CD to accompany Cardiff’s “A Large Slow River” (2000): an audio walk made specifically for the Oakville Galleries’ Gairloch Gardens. Fleming’s curatorial essay focuses on spatial and temporal aspects of the piece. Her analysis of relations between fiction, reality and the virtual within Cardiff’s work foregrounds the symbiotic relationship between sound and vision. Fleming also describes the techniques used by Cardiff and George Bures Miller to create “binaural” sound. Issues of memory, displacement and desire are also considered in relation to the audio walk’s central theme: the fluidity of time and water. 4 bibl. ref.
