Clark presented a smorgasbord of existing, new and reconfigured works in a trippy and playfully indulgent space, the ethos of which is neatly encapsulated in the phrase “Around the World in a Page” – affixed to a skirting board. Absorbed by the relationships between pedagogy and ideology, Clark uses found images from educational and popular sources, and ozone-shattering synthetic materials like polystyrene and glitter to reflect on the fates and pleasures of a life commensurate with the mass-media trajectory from television in the 1970s (in South Africa anyway) to the World Wide Web, and the attendant political, social and economic complexities of globalisation.”
