Andy Holden : Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape

6 Dec 2012-2 Feb 2013

Overview

Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape is a reworking of the laws of our physical universe to make sense of the ‘gooey space-time’ of the world of the cartoon. This gallery presentation builds extensively upon a lecture developed Holden together with Tyler Woolcott, that has been presented and expanded throughout the artist’s Stanley Picker Fellowship, and which he aspires to become a “manifesto for art in a world after the end of art-history”. The exhibition will elaborate on this cartoon-thesis with a display of visual research exploring the logic of cartoons - "Anybody suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of the situation"; "Everything falls faster than an anvil" - alongside a comprehensive selection of recent works made from plaster, clay, knitted textiles, screen-printed collage and sound.
