Robin Hungerford | Phantom Limbs
2010-03-17 — 2010-03-21Robin Hungerford’s work is often a synthesis of analogue technologies and everyday materials. These materials, deployed with a certain degree of whimsy by the artist, come together to form imaginative meditations on the virtual realm of media and the internet and the abstractions we are faced with when we interact with these realms. Hungerford is particularly interested in the way in which new technologies and media, such as medical imaging devices, new scientific knowledge and the limitless streams of violence and pornography available on the internet alter our perception of our own bodies. During his residency Hungerford will continue his sculptural and performative video explorations of the body as a means to return to a subjective image of the body in which our imagination of ourselves presides over the concrete scientific reality we currently inhabit.
Robin will be undertaking a residency at Serial Space from 7 March. Phantom Limbs will open to the public on Wednesday 17 March (6-8pm) and run through until Sunday 21 March. Gallery hours are Thursday - Sunday, 12pm-6pm.
