'The Humiliations of Man: Le Salon des Refuses (The Fall)� Damian Griffiths studio1.1 artist in residence 2010 inaugural show 11 - 14 March 2010 Private view: Thursday 11th March, 6 - 9pm We are very pleased to announce our third Artist in Residence at studio1.1. Damian Griffiths will be presenting a series of 5 weekend shows throughout the year under the title �The Humiliations of Man� Having shown Damian in 2008 in a solo show �In the Way of Things� we have asked him back with to further analyse the photographic image. While the means of presentation will differ greatly, the subject will be constant - man and his undoing. And the agent of this �humiliation� is the photograph and its insistent and problematic relationship to power and production; its existence as image, object and concept. �HoM� will start with Show 1: 'Le Salon des Refus�s (the fall)' �The work I propose to make for this series of exhibitions will attempt to find new ways of making and discussing art. The work will not be against language, but resistant to it. I want to make apparent the tautology of most art writing.� �It feels important that if I am to start a project entitled the Humiliations of Man I should include myself in these humiliations from the very beginning. I am part of the problem. In the front room of the gallery will be a selection of works that document my aborted attempts to re-make Marcel Duchamp�s The bride stripped bare by her bachelors, even (the Large Glass). The canvas is not a window onto the world; it is transparent, the duty of art is not mimesis, we are not fooling anyone. This is how I feel about some aspects of photography, though I have yet to create this idea through photography. In the back room will be a collection of naked self-portraits and other erotic works. studio1.1 57a Redchurch St London E2 7DJ tubes: Liverpool St / Old St bus: 8, 26, 35, 47, 48, 149, 344, 388 email: [email protected] tel: 07952 986696 web: http://www.studio1-1.co.uk open: Wednesday to Sunday 12-6 pm or by appointment |
