Sandy Smith & Alex Gross @ Collective

The image that has stuck in my head is that of a giant, undulating surface covered in a thick coat of multicoloured glitter. Somewhere between Joseph's technicolor dream coat and Aladdin's magic carpet, it would have looked more comfortable in a kid's crèche than in a trendy gallery. However, if you can force your eyes away from the glittering monster then the rest of this show is well worth a look.

The videos are undoubtedly the highlight of the show: juxtaposing the vast, far-reaching landscapes of North America with everyday human objects or voices: there seems to be a distance created between nature and man. The human elements are out of place, disturbing the calm. The video Waiting for Reoccurrence has its back turned to a footpath or viewing area, so that only the shuffle of footsteps, the heavy breathing of a walker and the throwaway remark of a tourist is heard but not seen, until the eruption of a geyser in the middle distance sets off multiple 'ahhs' and kids run into shot to have their photo taken. Gross and Smith's work oscillates between the sublime and the mundane, but above all questions man's place within the landscape.

The two untitled sculptures are intentionally ambiguous: my first thought was a twisted torso; however, they could equally be inspired by a rugged landscape; with the aggregate still showing through there is a certain roughness which creates intensity and immediacy.

To enjoy this exhibition takes a certain amount of perseverance: the meanings aren't obvious and it would be easy to walk in and out in five minutes. However, once your retina's recovered from the shock of an intense overindulge in glitter, there is plenty of thought provoking material to make the trip worthwhile. [Sophie George]
