You can get to very close quarters
with the solo dancers in the film installations by Billy Cowie– and if you wear the little stereoscopic glasses that he provides, the
performers will look as if they’re there, performing just for
you. T’es Pas La Seule, was, apparently, made for children. But
the perky miss who dances is so irresistably cute you just want to join
in, not least because Cowie’s music is such a charismatic conduit
of moods and atmospheres. Mary Brennan, Glasgow Herald 27 Aug
