Suspended from the gallery ceiling of White Cube Hoxton Square, 'Talvinder, you’ll never guess, it’s the Pacific Ocean again!' (2007), a three-dimensional white neon sculpture, invoked the interstitial spaces of the temporal ‘fourth dimension’. The work reflects the artist’s interest in composer John Cage’s chance operations and Brion Gysin’s ‘cut-up’ techniques, as well as particle physics, Albert Hoffmann’s chemical formula for LSD, neural synthesis diagrams and astrological constellations, confounding that which is visible to the eye. The work also represents a sound score. Its title is taken from Wyn Evans’s film 'Look at Me Your Stars' (1988), which featured two visually impaired children. The quoted line is taken from a sequence where a child reads out loud places discovered by chance on the surface of a spinning Braille globe.

Excerpted from the script of Chris Marker’s ‘La Jetée’ (1962), a sci-fi film based on a search for an authentic memory, 'Later on they are in the garden…' (2007) is a neon text that explores the potential of the future anterior tense of language. It describes a scene in which a man attempts to tell his girlfriend about his origins in a dream foretelling his death: an event that has already taken place.

Visibleinvisible, which was located in the upstairs gallery, addresses forms of language. The artist attached a pair of metal blinds to the first floor windows on the gallery’s façade that mechanically opened and shut as they transmitted a text by Maurice Merleau-Ponty in International Morse Code, the now obsolete mode of telegraphic communication which has come to represent a form of signature in the work of Wyn Evans over the past few years. The decrypted text appeared inside on a wall-mounted computer screen as did a photograph on the opposite wall, which became intermittently viewable through a play of light occasioned by the blinking shutters.

On the evening of 19 December, White Cube presented a special concert with Russell Haswell and Florian Hecker in collaboration with Cerith Wyn Evans, performing material employing composer Iannis Xenakis’ UPIC system (a computer program that translates graphic structure into sound).

Since last showing ‘Curves of the Needle’ at White Cube Hoxton Square in 2006, Cerith Wyn Evans has exhibited widely including a major solo exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris/ARC (June 2006) and further solo exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (October 2006), Kunstbau Lenbachaus (November 2006), Kunsthaus Graz, Austria (January 2007), Centre for Contemporary Art Kitakyushu, Japan, (March 2007), Taka Ishii Gallery, Tokyo (March 2007), Galerie Daniel Buchholz, Cologne (May 2007) and ‘Visibleinvisible’, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Castilla y León (MUSAC), (January 2008).
