'interview board appeal justice detained' was constructed in response to the Basement Gallery's former function as a prison. It was part of an exhibition curated by Jonathan Carroll called 'More Heat Than Light'. The other artists showing were Hugo Canoilas, Marcus Coates, Fernanda Chieco and John O'Connell.

'Teresa Gillespie further discombobulates with her installation entitled 'interview board appeal justice detained' (2007), which runs through the centre space of the gallery and into a cell at the far end. Angular white structures are interspersed with black objects such as a suitcase, a jacket and a pair of shoes, and a maddening, menacing soundtrack repeatedly intones that 'systems' have been 'put in place'. The piece felt like a response to the terror of institutionalisation, the structures somehow reminiscent of both a torture chamber and some office furniture. Equating torture with bureaucracy, it felt like a comment on and perhaps a warning against, the dangers of one's own life being simply a journey through a systematised, black and white, anaesthetically ordered world.'
