Studio Visit – Adam Dix and George Henry Longly

ALL MEMBERS – £50

By examining past visions of the twenty-first century and the subsequent representation of that imagined future, Adam Dix looks at our reliance on consumer technology, highlighting the insecurity and vulnerability of man caused by our desire for these aspirational products.

Using nostalgia for a science fiction future and the present abundance of consumer technology, his work adopts a visual language that emulates past optimism for a particular vision: the creation of a world where the human race would live in a technological utopia. Previous exhibitions include Future Map at 20 Hoxton Square (2009), Catlin Art Prize (2010 and 2011) and Transmission at Haunch of Venison (2010).

A diverse catalogue of industrial and domestic materials, a minimalist examination of spatial context and a strong interest in sculptural geometric abstraction define George Henry Longly’s practice.

Recent solo shows include Mass Damper, which toured from S1 Artspace, Sheffield (2007), IPS, Birmingham (2008), Hatton Gallery, Newcastle (2008) and Generator Projects in Dundee (2009). Forthcoming exhibitions include Outrageous Fortune, A Hayward Touring/Focal Point Gallery exhibition (2011).

£50 Please note: we ask for this contribution so we can pay the artists a small fee for hosting us in their studio and includes a small contribution to go towards supporting the work of the Contemporary Art Society.
