White Cube Mason's Yard was pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Cerith Wyn Evans. Taking its title from a song by Steely Dan, 'Everyone's Gone To The Movies' (1975), Wyn Evans created two major installations that transformed the gallery spaces, engaging the viewer through the interaction of light, sound and reflection.Suspended in the ground floor gallery was 'C=O=N=S=T=E=L=L=A=T=I=O=N (I call your image to mind)' a polyphonic sound mobile adapted from a series of 'audio spotlights' by the American holosonic inventor Joseph Pompei. Suspended in tiers, sixteen mirrored discs gently rotate in mid-air, transmitting directional, ultra-sonic beams of sound. This consists of a multi-layered soundtrack or sound collage created by Wyn Evans using various audio sources amongst which are his own piano arrangements and field recordings gathered by the Lovell radio telescope in Jodrell Bank.
