| CU 8min / 2016 CU is a video work commissioned for the 10 year anniversary exhibition at The Royal Standard in Liverpool 2016. A durational vocal work, formed from the concept of CU -the chemical symbol of copper and abbreviated film term for ‘close up’. CU is a new interpretation and arrangement of Brian Eno's 'No One Receiving' and Sunn 0))) 'It Took The Night To Believe' lyrics via digital vocal processing, dronology and a mask of real copper leaf. The performance by Hannah is delivered meditatively in a hazed metal stillness, detached from gender or place. A ‘dark matter of pop’ is exhumed and weaved with the sense of an esoteric electric presence from this antique alien. ‘There is a strong sense of subverted romanticism in my work, namely in the roles that video, fashion, pop music, photography and performance can be used as an outlet - to understand in my own finite way; emerging technologies and new ontologies of identity in a post digital, non concrete world. I use a musical guise, through vocal performances that can last for hours at a time, a mediation to reveal an electronic otherness, using my voice channeled through various processors. To engage, entice and detach equally in a digital yet corporeal artifice. ‘ Michelle Hannah is a Glasgow based artist and performer born in Alexandria, Scotland UK and a graduate from the Master of Fine Art course at Glasgow School of Art. Exhibitions and performances include: Talbot Rice Gallery, NGCA Sunderland, CGP London, ZKU Berlin, DCA Dundee, CCA Glasgow, The Royal Standard Liverpool, Res. Gallery London, QPRC Glasgow, Vetlanda Museum Sweden, Hidden Door Festival Edinburgh, Dresden Film Festival and is the curator of 'Niteflights' which has taken place at various venues in Glasgow.
