E-Vapour-8 at Site Gallery: REVIEW | By Nathan Jones.

Nathan Jones visits E-Vapour-8 at SITE Gallery, in Sheffield - a series 
of aesthetically and conceptually haunted works opening onto the death 
of rave - and finds an affecting, and more modern show than he was lead 
to expect.

Works by Fatima Al Qadiri, Daniel Swan, Petra Cortright, Rhys Coren 
become the characters and rooms of a labrinthine underground culture 
which takes emotion, history, sexuality and race as its headliners and 
resident evil.

E-Vapour-8 is a roup show which looks and feels about as much like a 
club as you would want it to. It features a series of haunted works 
opening onto the “death of rave” -- and what that death means, when it 
happened, and if it is still happening, are the most interesting 
questions provoked by a visit.
