‘Interrun’ was originally made in 1986 for ‘EventSpace 1’ at Glasgow’s Transmission Gallery. This version is an approximation of the original combined with a second version that was commissioned by Video Positive and installed at TATE Liverpool in 1989. The work is a multi channel ‘video wall’ (with sound by Lei Cox), in which angles and planes of the Scottish landscape are dispersed over the monitors. The images suggest one whole image, made up of successive distinct shots and sub-grids.
“As a pure example of ‘landscape video’ in Partridge’s output, ‘Interrun’ is in the larger tradition of landscape art - and on the grand scale. It also shares the radical re-visioning of landscape pioneered by such structural filmmakers as Chris Welsby and William Raban, and akin to the cut-up videos of the later-eighties and beyond, this piece takes up the complex ‘montage within the frame’ as well as rapid-cutting, but here in a new media context.”
