CHRIS CALDERWOOD : CRYONIX Life Extension Foundation

21 Jan-19 Mar 2017

Overview

Solo show featuring an expansive site-specific installation depicting a decaying cryogenic freezing company where people sit dead on ice, hoping to be woken in the future. The work will expand the artist’s use of audio, computer graphics and sculptural installation. Viewers will be immersed in a sensory-surround of different media forming a densely packed scenario born of science fiction fantasy, half demolished buildings, and life solutions marketed by internet cults. Calderwood’s works refer to the aesthetics and social codes shared by popular fan culture and sci-fi nerd enthusiasm. In a blurring of fantasy and reality, a faithful devotion to technology is met by unspecified disaster. The exhibition will be accompanied by a limited edition of print works.
