Exhibition catalogue from John Massey: The House that Jack Built at the Belkin (23 March-20 May 2007) with texts by Martha Hanna and Didier Ottinger. The exhibition, which takes its title from the popular nursery rhyme, features the installation, Room 202, A Model for Johnny, photographic works from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000, as well as a recent project, produced specifically for this touring exhibition, called Phantoms of the Modern. In this new work Massey confounds our view of the ideal modern house that is his subject. By introducing new perspectives and new elements into his depiction of architectural spaces, he reinvests and reconfigures representation in the eyes and mind of the viewer.

    Artist

    Since the late 1970s, John Massey’s work has involved the transformation of material and perception, first through the articulation of scale models of rooms and more recently through his photographs of architectural interiors. Combining conventional photography with digital effects, he creates interiors that exist in a middle ground between the depicted and the created, touching on the metaphysical narratives that he has taken as his theme.
