| "Dealing
with the effects of observation in two very different ways on
Wednesday were up-and-coming artist Katherine Hymers and established
Welsh art installation artists TRACE:. In residence this year,
the TRACE: group has installed a plasterboard replica of their
Cardiff workspace.
The work, TRACE: Displaced, asks whether the
act of documenting performance has an effect on the event.
Professor Heike Roms, in red lipstick and stylish black spectacles,
represents a dominating force, photographingand questioning
her own account of the evidence as she writes her journal.
Choosing your own vantage point within the performance becomes
a question of mediating the narrative within the unfolding
work, and asks us to consider the effect of traces we leave."

"[...] Heike Roms
[...] represents a dominating force [...]"
|
"Just such a juxtaposition [between
performance and 'real life'] was cited in a critical conceptualisation
by Heike Roms as part of TRACE: Displaced, a collective
comprising Andre Stitt, Phil Babot, Roddy Hunter, Lee Hassall
and Beth Greenhalgh, who together occupied the central large
T2 space at Tramway. Roms commented on the development and
dissemination of the group's interactions. Themes such as
cross-referencing, interaction, the incorporation of the
everyday into the performative event incidentally or deliberately
shaped Roms' observations, which were displayed on an information
table in the space itself. The slightly prescriptive demarcation
of the concurrent live acts of TRACE: Displaced, as intellectual
property as well as ruminative substance for a lay public,
may have been superseded by the useful points Roms made
for those new to live art. [...] Roms had isolated a persistently
relevant and challenging aspect of live work as a framework
for everyday experience, whether described or actual."
