Eleven years’ worth of Anne Tallantire’s understated, graceful art explores the relationship between working people and the infrastructure that surrounds them, writes AIDAN DUNNE

ASCEND THE main staircase in Imma and you’ll find yourself in the middle of a building site. It’s not actually a building site but, as the landing is occupied by a towering maze of scaffolding and cables, it does feel like one. Follow the indicated pathway through the maze and you come upon a succession of video screens on which can be seen, mostly, images of people at work. You are in the midst of Drift, the first part of Anne Tallentire’s exhibition This,and other things 1999-2010, which brings together six of the artist’s projects, including four recent works showing for the first time.
