Slasher horror sequel which sees Josh Stewart return to his role as
Arkin from the preceding film 'The Collector' (2009). After an
underground party leaves all but partially deaf Elena (Emma
Fitzpatrick) dead, she stumbles upon a large trunk before she can
make her way out. Inside the trunk is Arkin who warns Elena to run
for her life, but before she can escape she has an accident
resulting in a broken arm, leaving her incapacitated. Arkin does
manage to escape and is hospitalised for his injuries, but shortly
after his recovery he is approached by Elena's father (Christopher
McDonald) and asked to return to The Collector's warehouse with a
group of mercenaries in an attempt to rescue his daughter.
A Geometricised World In 1980 Peter Halley painted his first
“prisons,” re-deploying the language of geometric abstraction
in response to physical and bureaucratic environments. Radically
deconstructing the language of abstraction, he re-imagined it not
as a utopian source of liberation, but as a dystopian symbol of the
regulation of physical and social space. As he wrote in 1990: “I
wanted to draw attention to this geometricised, rationalised,
quantified world. I saw it as a world characterised by efficiency,
by regimentation of movement, bureaucracies, whether in the
corporation, government, or university.” Working in the era of
the mass adoption of personal computers and the advent of the
Internet, he developed a tightly organized system of discrete,
geometric forms that he refers to as “prisons,” “conduits,”
and “cells.” Adopting non-traditional materials such as Roll-
A-Tex, a paint additive that provides a readymade texture, and
Day-Glo fluorescent colors, he referenced a pervasive mechanization
of the human touch and technology in the postmodern environment.
Set within the context of a prolific period of painting and
critical writing in the 1980s, this catalogue traces the
development of Halley’s singular pictorial vocabulary.
