How does it feel? by James Johnson-Perkins

May 15 - June 15, 2008

FIRST-TIME IN THAILAND

Photobucket

How does it feel?, James Johnson-Perkins, Nospace Gallery, Bangkok.
James Johnson-Perkins is one of the UK’s most exciting artists. His brightly coloured drawings, sculptures and videos define an original and highly individual relationship to western popular culture and childhood experience. He uses materials and subject matter which have a resonance with his nostalgic, youth experiences such as: Toy building bricks, 80’s computer graphics and 80’s TV programs. For this exhibition he has created a truly mesmerising video installation 'how does it feel?' consisting of dancing pixelated robots which dance to his favourite 80’s music singles. He lives and works in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.
Johnson-Perkins has exhibited widely both in the UK and internationally including: Lux, Royal College of Art, London, UK, The Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, UK, Digital Long Island Media Festival, IMAC Theatre, New York, USA, First Play Berlin, Hau 2, Berlin, Germany, Cultural Centre of Spain, El Salvador, Spain, National Centre for Contemporary Art, Moscow, Russia & Crossovers, Toyota Municipal Gallery of Contemporary Art, Toyota, Japan.
