A response to Grete Stern's dream works.


HANDJOB took place at Oonagh Young Gallery, Dublin March-April 2013
For more information see www.alanphelan.com/handjob/

HANDJOB did not pretend to be an exhaustive archival, or encyclopaedic
treatise on the subject of the hand. Nor did it pretend to engage in any
curatorial games, or progressive public strategies. What it did pretend to
do was present a range of clustered connections between what should mostly
appear to be random images, people, and objects.

This response to Christian Marclay’s The Clock (2010) is in the form of a voice-over made from fragments of other voice-overs from various films. It seeks to inhabit the work by becoming a mimetic commentary on, and an imagined narration by, The Clock itself.
