GALLERYSKE presents From the town's end By Navin Thomas On view: 30th August to 9th October, 2010 In From the towns end Navin Thomas explores his continuing interest in the afterlife of salvaged electronic junk with a possible audio capacity creating work that incorporates found objects as varied as old PCO telephones, former army loud-speakers, a customized hatbox and a PA horn from a mosque to a toy that gleefully sings in Iranian, which was found in the Chinese toy market in Chandni Chowk. Thomas’s work also examines how small species react to household electronic appliances and the effects of living in close proximity with seemingly domestic magnetic fields.
