Author Juliet Jacques and artist Jesse Darling discuss digital spaces and trans* identities at a sold-out event at Carroll / Fletcher on November 11.

The event is part of a special season-long series collaboration titled Networked Culture, Digital Politics between Carroll / Fletcher and Verso Books which examines the relationship between culture and digital technology.

Jacques, author of Trans: A Memoir published by Verso this year, joins artist and writer Darling to discuss feminist thought, queer theory, non-binary and trans-identities and “their articulation in online spaces”, as well as the general artistic practices and explore both body and technology.

Kim Asendorf + Ole Fach @ Carroll/Fletcher, Jan 22 – Feb 21

19 January 2015
news

Carroll / Fletcher is bringing artists Kim Asendorf and Ole Fach together for a two-person exhibition titled Computer’s World and running at the London space from January 22 to February 21.

The fictive world created by the two artists ascribes markers normally associated with sentience to machines, creating a uncanny “familiar world made strange” in which the machines do as humans do, looking, analysing, expressing, rejoicing, “all the while watching us, consuming us, reflecting us, learning, becoming… becoming us.”

While Asendorf and Fach’s show questions how computers experience the world, Helen Carmel Benigson‘s opening night performance, ‘Anxious, Stressful, Insomnia Fat’, inspired by a health app that monitor’s women’s bodies, uses everything from a rap performance by alter ego Princess Belsize Dollar to live female weightlifters to explore the”flatness prescribed by the Internet onto the body”, much like Kate Cooper’s recent show at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art.

See the Carroll / Fletcher exhibition page for details on Computer’s World and their event page for details about Benigson’s performance. **

news

Constant Dullaart is presenting his first solo UK exhibition, titled Stringendo, Vanishing Mediators, running at London’s Carroll / Fletcher, running June 12 to July 31.

The Dutch artist has made a career of exploring the internet as a medium and mode of creativity, and his latest exhibition continues the trend. With Stringendo, Vanishing Mediators, Dullaart dives into the linguistics of digital communication, investigating how computer software and technology has transformed art and culture.

Featuring a series of family photographs dating back to 1984, “the dawn of the digital era”, as well as a series of restored images called ‘Jennifer in Paradise‘, the exhibition becomes a sort of digital excavation, with Dullaart as the leading archeologist of our digital origins.

Read an interview with Constant Dullaart and see the Carroll / Fletcher exhibition page for details. **

‘The Uneventful Day’ @ Carroll / Fletcher, Nov 27

21 November 2013

London gallery Carroll / Fletcher is presenting The Uneventful Day group exhibition, featuring artists Jim Woodall, Alexander Page and Luke Burton, opening November 27 and running to December 21.

The three artists investigate the relationship with landscape and architecture and their role in shaping memory and temperament, social and political networks, through sculptural installation, photography, video and illustration. In setting the natural against the urban environment and exploring their effects and outcomes, it makes you wonder, with all this focus on the impact on the online interface, whether we haven’t skipped a step or two.

See the Carroll / Fletcher website for more details. **
