The most striking of these new works is Landscape with Gun and Tree by Cornelia Parker. She has made a replica of a shotgun nine metres high in steel and rusty iron. It leans against a tree, its barrel cradled in the upper branches as though a giant had casually left it there, gone away and forgotten it. The iconography of gun and tree invokes the long tradition of sporting portraits. The model is Robert Wilson’s own gun and so obliquely, it implies his portrait.

In November 2008, she recorded three days of rehearsals for one of his “events” – selections from his works specially staged. But he died the following year, aged 90, before her film was finished. That turns an artistic record of one of the most important figures in contemporary dance into something more: an elegy, an epitaph, a memorial to the genius of creation. It is 110 minutes long, shown at specific times, and though you can wander in and out, it is so magical that you won’t want to.

“I’m fascinated by man and nature. For me, the edge of the land has always been defined by a gun,” said Cornelia Parker, a Turner Prize-nominated artist whose work Landscape with Gun and Tree is one of three new exhibits revealed yesterday at Jupiter Artland, Scotland’s most remarkable landscape art project.

Anyone familiar with Dean’s work will know that the rehearsal itself is not likely to be the main event. Rather, she notices the totality of the scene: the grids of the windows like hundreds of picture frames on the landscape beyond, the cavernous space, the liquid sheen of the floor with its ever-changing reflections. Her cameras drink in the sunshine. Occasionally, a dancer slides into shot, or a ship glides past, but it gradually becomes apparent that these are Cunningham’s preoccupations, too, precisely what inspire the wonderful abstractions of his choreography.

The looping and layering organise casually produced sounds into an intimate arrangement, which mimics a piece of scored music. An engrossing meditation on process, privacy, performance and repetition, the work also establishes subtle experiential relationships between image, object and sound

A good many works by the great Irish artist Dorothy Cross that evoke the deep blue in some form or other, not least her electrifying Ghost Ship, in which she covered a disused lightship with luminous paint and moored it off Dún Laoghaire harbour, where it haunted the coastline with its spectral glow, perfectly evoking the seafaring past as a mirage.

Both videos cannot be seen at the same time, the viewer must literally move from a symbolic past to a contemporary present, all while hearing words from history brought to life. Tan asks her viewer to inhabit a complex space, traversing time and space and consequently creating a multiplicity of new meanings.
