"Shaun Gladwell : Seven Year Linework"
2009-10-03 until 2009-11-28
Spacex
Execter, , UK United Kingdom

Spacex is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in the UK by Australian artist Shaun Gladwell. Shaun Gladwell critically and poetically links personal experience with contemporary culture and historical references through performance, video, painting, photography and sculpture. His works engage these concerns through forms of urban expression such as skateboarding, hip-hop, graffiti, BMX bike riding, break-dancing and most recently, extreme sports.

'Seven Year Linework' presents a selection of projects that are drawn from Gladwell‚s ongoing investigations of conceptual drawings rendered in video. Beginning with one of Gladwell‚s earliest experiments in video, the exhibition includes a series of recorded performances from different points of view. Gladwell‚s use of slow motion has become a trademark of the artist‚s aesthetic style, however the video projects in this exhibition regard a sense of slowed motion in real time footage.

Gladwell has recently presented new work at the 2009 Venice Biennale in the Australian Pavilion. This exhibition is curated by Tania Doropoulos.

Exhibition continues until 28 November 2009.
