Dracula’s Revenge 3’ – the nomadic space’s third gallery instalment – hosts a bespoke project by Los Angeles artist Jesse Stecklow, who for several years has dealt in the minutiae of language and matter. This body of work puns on corn-derived products, inspired by a project in which Stecklow sampled gallery air and discovered a strange aura. The show’s seven sculptures offer a narrative, beginning with five pieces – small assemblages on low platforms, delicately wrapped in white paper – that present a sort of ‘timeline’ in the narrow gallery’s front room: the first sculpture (deep past) a pair of fossilized whale ear-bones resembling blackened kidneys; the middle sculpture (the present) a mirror; the fifth, a fortune-cookie sized tag, asks you to imagine where you’ll be in ten million years. The elegance of the show takes time to unfold – you’re led deeper into the space by the successive sculptures. A wax-dipped lightbulb sunken into the floor invites you into the back room, where images of human ears and glass bottles shaped like corn cover a sixth platform like an altar, and a seventh piece – a clock with its hands pinned in place by small air samplers – hangs in a ruined brick fireplace, drawing you into sooty contemplation.
