Looking at one thing and thinking of something else
Thursday, 17 November, 2016Associate Fine Art Lecturer John Wood is exhibiting in an exhibition leading up to the fifth anniversary of Carroll / Fletcher.
To mark the anniversary, the gallery’s founding director Jonathon Carroll is curating an exhibition in four parts, bringing together works by each of the artists represented by the gallery.
Looking at one thing and thinking of something else, will run from November 2016 to February 2017 and will explore the impact of digital technologies on the production, consumption and distribution of art, while considering the role of artists, galleries and artworks in today’s interconnected, conflict-ridden world. This group show comes in four monthly instalments, with each chapter of the exhibition curated around a different set of themes.
Part One: Dialogues with Art History presents a selection of key works that engage with art history through a variety of approaches, including John Wood and Paul Harrison’s film Erdkunde (2015); a form of lecture inspired by the Bristol Museum’s geology collections.
Artists: Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Joshua Citarella, James Clar, Constant Dullaart, Michael Joaquin Grey, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Mishka Henner, Justin Hibbs, Christine Sun Kim, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Eva and Franco Mattes, Manfred Mohr, Evan Roth, Thomson & Craighead, UBERMORGEN, Eulalia Valldosera, Richard T. Walker, John Wood and Paul Harrison
Exhibition dates:
- Part One, 11-26 November
- Part Two, 2-23 December
- Part Three, 13-29 January
- Part Four, 3-25 February
Full exhibition details, including a series of discussions, culminating in a symposium, and a range of online works that develop the themes of the physical exhibitions.
The pair are also exhibiting in A Laborious Dedication to Useless Tasks, a group exhibition at the Deptford Project that draws together artists whose work – existentially, politically, sociologically, economically – reflects on the precarity of the current labour climate and the potential meaning(lessness) of work.
