Richard Talbot - All Depth and No Substance
All Depth and No Substance presents new video and drawing work by Richard Talbot, together with an essay by Richard Talbot and Matthew Hearn.The work explores Talbot's drawing practice and its relationship to the history and use of Linear Perspective. It proposes that there is an ambiguity implicit in the geometry of linear perspective, which is why it continues to defy interpretation and generate debate.Talbot proposes that perspective never was the fixed entity - the 'rational' system, or even the 'culturally determined' system - that it is generally now taken to be, or is presented as.The video and drawings demonstrate and embody the alternative interpretations possible within the most simple of perspective constructions.Their format and installation critique those paintings that are held to be prime examples of the use of perspective in the early renaissance, but which, when looked at closely, defy the rules of perspective.Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Platform-A Gallery, Middlesbrough Railway Station, 18 December 2013 - 30 January 2014.
The Last Cavalier
Left for dead at the sack of Drogheda, Richard Talbot later ingratiated himself with the future James II by plotting to assassinate Oliver Cromwell. Using fresh primary sources The Last Cavalier: Richard Talbot (1631-91) traces how Talbot, though a gallant, gamester and 'cunning dissembling courtier', grew to be more than just another Restoration rake. He took on the cause of reconciling his countrymen's allegiance to London and to Rome and, under a Catholic king, clawing back their lost status and power. Talbot, now Earl of Tyrconnell and viceroy, almost succeeded but after the Boyne (where he led the Jacobite army in battle) he lost his grip. The Last Cavalier is the first full-scale biography of a great though not a good man.
