Nashashibi / Skaer @ doggerfisher

With one of this year's Turner nominees under their roof, doggerfisher can do no wrong. Shimmying up to the plate for the EAF is a newly commissioned film work by collaborative tour de force Nashashibi / Skaer. Our Magnolia, takes Paul Nash’s 1944 painting Flight of The Magnolia as its literal and conceptual starting point, launching into, what will be, the duo’s fourth exploration of the transformative potential of film. Concentrating on Nash’s visual devices of analogy, the work looks positioned to develop Nashashibi / Skaer’s shared interest in films construction of mass cultural codes and the loaded signification borne from narrative structures.
