A selection of new videos by Jordan Baseman - a mixture of projections and monitor-based works - will be shown separately and sequentially in five constructed spaces within Matt’s Gallery. The works chosen for don’t stop ’til you get enough all follow a narrative structure and have a semi-documentary character, and range from stark and uncompromising to tender and comical portraits. This is the first time that the works will be shown together in the UK.

In the video don’t stop ’til you get enough, Michael Jackson impersonators describe their dreams involving Jackson and their feelings about dancing competitively. Images of drawings of Michael Jackson created by Jackson fans around the world accompany the voiceover.
