YORK memorial artist Dexter is turning his attention to the box in the living-room corner in DexterWorld Of Television.

Surveying his latest nostalgic roll call, he says: "It's a not-exhaustive collection of TV programmes, each of which has been an influence on my life so far.

"It's an acknowledgement to times when programmes such as Till Death Us Do Part and That Was The Week That Was pushed at the boundaries of what was seen as acceptable, while The Simon Dee Show and Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In were cutting-edge contemporary viewing."

Dexter's DexterWorld text installations were last seen on the walls of York upstairs at City Screen last November in the Corridor Of Time, a retrospective of his series of memorials to the post-war decades of the 20th century.

Born in 1955 in television's milk-teeth days, Dexter has plenty of TV memories for his wall plaque, and not for the time in his humorously grumpy old man way, his artwork indicates his preference for the past over the present. "Those of us able to compare the early days of television with now may feel that current programmes are largely derivative and unoriginal, depending only on technical advancement," he says.

DexterWorld Of Television stands six foot by five foot, its list of programmes set against the backdrop of the famous BBC test card picture of the girl and the blackboard. "I'm currently looking for somewhere that can exhibit the piece at that size, but as usual the image will be available to buy at any size," he says.
