The exhibition begins in 1972, the year when Emes’s experimental filmFrench Windows - a vision of his own kaleidoscopic universe in fantastic motion where bodies twirl, dance and drift through vortices of geometric shapes and abstract forms – brought him to the attention of Pink Floyd, who commissioned him to create the visuals for what would become one of the greatest albums of all time: The Dark Side of the Moon. The coming decades would bring further collaborations with some of the music scene’s biggest names such as Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells, 1973), Linda and Paul McCartney (Oriental Nightfish, 1978), and Duran Duran (The Chauffeur, 1984). I’VE BEEN MAD FOR FUCKING YEARS (2016) Acrylic on canvas BOOM! (2018), Perspex disc By restoring, archiving, revisiting and re-inventing the works of a by- gone era using new, more frenetic language and new technologies, Ian Emes strives to get back in touch with the power of simplicity, to be brave enough to tumble in slow motion, to freeze and remain still, regardless of impatient young eyes ever-craving for new images. GRANTCHESTER MEADOWS (2018), Installation Film GRANTCHESTER MEADOWS (2018), Installation Film ECHOES is an immersion into Emes’s life-long fascination with the fluid relationship between music and the moving image, controlled synchronization and fortuitous coincidence, his stream-of- consciousness approach to imagining and the meticulous process that follows. The body of work presented in ECHOES provides us with an opportunity to re-live the anarchic spirit enabled by an affluent British society in the 70s, when a free-to-all education enabled the youth to defy the very institutions that paid for it alongside any pre- conceived concept or idea.
