Teasers
Behind the scenes
'Teasers' are the short but enticing clips that go out in advance of a big new movie.
The word doesn't sound quite appropriate for a medium as modest and retiring as painting. But with the central painting in Shane Cotton's soon-to-open exhibition The Hanging Sky, it feels right to make an exception – at nine metres across, this is emphatically a wide-screen work. Herewith, some 'advance clips' of Cotton's The Haymaker Series I-V.
