Introducing the 𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑻𝑹𝑶𝑳 artists: new to OHSH Projects: David Blandy
David Blandy (b. 1976) is an artist based in Brighton whose work explores global structures of control and networks of resistance across ecology, history, science and cultures of play.
Working across video, games, sound and ephemera, he deconstructs cultural forms and reassembles them to reveal hidden narratives and alternative ways of understanding the world. Blandy has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, with solo exhibitions at Towner Gallery, Eastbourne; John Hansard Gallery, Southampton; Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, Germany and Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea. His work has also been shown at Tate Modern, London; Serpentine Gallery, London; Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki, Finland and MoMA PS1, New York, USA.
Represented by Seventeen Gallery, London / Films distributed by LUX, London.
𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑻𝑹𝑶𝑳, opening Wednesday 8 July (6pm-9pm),brings together fifteen artists to explore the video game as a vital and expanding cultural medium, tracing the line between design and art and asking at what point a rendered world, a crafted character, or a system of rules transcends its origins to become something more.
The exhibition will draw on a lineage that stretches from Suzanne Treister’s pioneering fictional game stills of the early 1990s to the present, celebrating the creative precision and philosophical ambition alive in the worlds games build, and the emotions they, sometimes unexpectedly, make real.
