British Art Show 8 - Charlotte Prodger's instillation Northern Dancer (2014) was commissioned by The Block, a company that restores discontinued Hantarex and Sony video monitors. It comprises four repurposed video monitors, across which flashes a series of seemingly arbitrary words. These words are in fact racehorse names following the ancestral bloodline of a thoroughbred horse named Markets, reflecting a convention when naming racehorses of splicing the names of the parent stallion and mare. The accompanying voiceover describes a particular moment in the lives of Gertrude Stein and her lover Alice B. Toklas concerning the obliteration throughout one of Stein's manuscripts of the word 'may'; both a linguistic rebuttal and a 'striking out' of the author's former lover, May Bookstaver. [3]
