Up\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LA-based artists and long-term collaborators Ryan Trecartin and Lizzie Fitch have made some drastic (and welcome) changes to London\u2019s Zabludowicz Collection. For starters, they\u2019ve fitted in a carpet. Then there\u2019s the neon-green walls connecting the different rooms, which are split up according to different works, and installed to look like vacant parking lots or the empty spaces of suburban American towns. Red plastic cups litter the aisles of some of the works, and wobbly, wooden constructions act as viewing areas within the superstructure. The chairs are uncomfortable as hell, and the semi-circular seating encourages you to stare out your fellow audience members. Then there\u2019s the extra high viewing area overlooking the whole installation. It\u2019s all very apt for the themes they explore in their work: voyeurism, narcissism and performativity in the digital age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPriority Innfield\u201d is Trecartin and Fitch\u2019s first solo exhibition in the UK, and is a revamp of a previous installation: a commissioned work for the Encyclopaedic Palace at the Venice Biennale in 2013. In \u201cItem Falls\u201d<i> <\/i>(2013), reality television hopefuls audition for a gaming system, all the while trapped in a nightmarish house in which competition seems the only alternative, even if it promises no escape from limbo. Like some apocalyptic Big Brother sleepover, with the addition of animated stunt chickens and floating <i>Second Life<\/i> alternate selves, humans wreak war on their own free will in order to evolve into a new form of animation. The promises of that final goal seem irresistible\u2013 either you get selected for the boy band, or become a Jenny (the archetypal all-American girl). In \u201cCenter Jenny\u201d, a follow up to \u201cItem Falls\u201d, a group of girls called Jenny debate their hierarchical positions within the group. \u201cPriority Innfield (Credits)\u201d<i> <\/i>makes use of Trecartin\u2019s love of CGI and animated text files, creating a high-speed frenetic movement of text reminiscent in tone to the graphic visual onslaught of Gaspar Noe\u2019s opening credits in \u201cEnter The Void\u201d. It\u2019s also a nice \u2018thank you\u2019 to his impressive coterie of artistic collaborators.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16799\" alt=\"Ryan Trecartin, Lizzie Fitch\/Ryan Trecartin, Priority Innfield, 2013.

Installation view Zabludowicz Collection, London, 2014. Photo: Stuart Whipps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJunior War\u201d is a central nexus of the show. A movie recorded by Trecartin in junior high in rural Ohio (in the autumn of 1999), it uses night vision equipment to record a bunch of teenagers getting up to \u201cJackass\u201d-style scrapes, vomiting, smoking spliffs and boasting about their escapades. Trecartin bought his camera after seeing <i>The Blair Witch Project<\/i> and the result is as chilling as it is entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>Trecartin and Fitch are clearly in love with the dross of the internet \u2013 the glitches and beeps, the flat shine, the sound loop and ringtone, the theme tune, the autotune, and the cartoon. \u201cPriority Innfield\u201d may be intended as a headfuck, but it still feels overladen. There\u2019s too much to work through in one visit. And the harsh colours, the loud screams and the pointedly digitally-influenced non-narrative threads start to grate before you\u2019ve reached the end. Trecartin and Fitch have successfully turned the Zabludowicz into a neon-green sorority nightmare for the posthuman age. Just keep a hold of those red cups, you might need them later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text by Sophia Satchell-Baeza<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zabludowiczcollection.com\/london\/exhibitions\/lizzie-fitch-ryan-trecartin\" target=\"_blank\">Lizzie Fitch\/Ryan Tracartin<\/a>&#8216;s first UK solo show will run from 2 October until 21 December 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read our investigation of youth identity in Trecartin and Fitch&#8217;s work in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/current-issue\/\"> Sleek 43, Youth\/Truth<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/category\/showroom\/\">art reviews and interviews<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryan Trecartin, Lizzie Fitch\/Ryan Trecartin, Priority Innfield, 2013.
