ELBABLE by Scott Myles
Till the 8th January 2011 Breeder hosts Scott Myles' artworks for the second time. Myles will present a new body of work across two floors of The Breeder. Myles regularly explores language within his works. ELBABLE (as the exhibition is called) is reminiscent of the palindrome "able was I ere I saw elba" attributed to Napoleon who purportedly uttered the works on first sighting the Italian island where he was imprisoned. The palindrome usefully underscores the split meaning and doubling that occurs in much of Myles' practice.
