Tangenticide
Date: 18 April - 3 May 2012
Artists: Tom Dale & Jamie George
Tom Dale and Jamie George are Fine Art PhD students from the Cambridge School of Art and members of the Fine Art Research Unit.
Jamie George's research focuses on the production of both objects and their respective 'framing devices' (both physical and conceptual) for exhibition scenarios. His work plays with both familiarity and estrangement and the relationship of objects to a contextualizing, reciprocal, space. Pertaining to the personal and dialogical potentials the work directly responds to the sliding scales that surround the gambit of the work's materials and placement - their cultural identities and histories.
Tom Dale's research has developed from a concern with sculpture, having then broadened out into various concerns with installation/object and moving image. He is particularly interested in how the object increasingly operates as a 'portal' - whereby sculptural objects become shifting signifiers, screen-like and virtual rather than physically grounded and univocal. Not only are objects and images subverted in some way, but they also examine the potential for a frictional relationship to their origins in the everyday and popular culture.
