Attic is a metaphorical space, signifying journey, shelter, and memory. This installation re-visits the 2001 site-specific Attic Project.

Personal, political, and poetic, Greg’s works are meditations on the fluidity of time, on memory, place and being – on how the past functions in the present.

Standing inside the space of the camera chamber, the viewer becomes an ‘interiorized observer to an exterior world.’ The ebb and flow of river and humanity are revealed in real-time views.

His work is postmodern mainly because it underscores the limits of modernist utopianism, and because it consciously revives an earlier allegorical style.

Through a small window, we can see the interior of an attic, walls covered in graffiti and drawings. This provides us with an almost voyeuristic experience; we’ re invited to snoop and see what we can in this interior space.

There is something high modernist about these works, a seriousness that is levelled by a certain romanticism, an almost lyrical approach that undercuts the works’ initial coldness.

Juxtaposing classical and modern myths, the works idealize an indomitable human physique, girdling the earth via railroads and freeways.

Mashups represent a collision of ancient and contemporary structural fragments, forms and places.
