SUMMARY:Guided tour - Dean Hughes solo show
DESCRIPTION:For his third solo-show at the gallery\, Dean Hughes presents works from 1996 until present days. \nSpecialised with the ordinary and the unassuming\, Hughes engages with the banality of everyday items by replacing their primary function with new meanings\, bearing witness to the artist’s own history. \nDean Hughes employs commonplace articles -bus tickets\, gum strip\, ruled paper\, puddles -to symbolise small transactions with the material world. With a subtle cynicism to Duchamp’s ready-made\, Hughes’ daily rituals of alteration and relocation epitomize the pointless gesture of the artist\, removing any trace of authorial intention. In the exhibition\, Hughes presents new works\, as part of a series that began in 2018 made by printing coffee rings from the base (or what is called the foot of coffee cups) onto paper. \nThe artist sees this process as comparable and similar in intent to the process of making potato prints as a child. The process has its origins in a chance crescent residue shape made by placing a coffee cup on a blank sheet of paper. \nHughes is interested in these small occurrences\, which can be extended over time through repetition and process-a method of dwelling within the commonplace. Dean Hughes (b.1974 Manchester\, UK) studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design\, London between 1993-96. \nSolo exhibitions have included Laure Genillard Gallery\, Gian Carla Zanutti Gallery\, Milan\, Jack Hanley Gallery\, San Francisco\, Dick Smith Gallery\, London and group exhibitions have included British Art Show 5\, Big Minis at CAPC Bordeaux; Lonely at the Top\, MUHKA Antwerp\, and Newspeak: British Art now\, Saatchi Gallery. He is Professor and Head of the Department of Arts\, Northumbria University. \n************** \nThe tour will be conducted by assistant gallery director ‘Linda Rocco’. Linda is a London-based Contemporary Art Curator\, writer and programmer with a background in contemporary dance and theatre. \nShe graduated from a two-year MA at the Royal College of Art with a dissertation on the meanings of ‘Presence and its Extensions’. \nHer interests spread across the presentation\, mediation and preservation of live and ephemeral practices; the sociology of the artist in today’s hyperconnected societies and audiences’ dynamics within institutionalized and public contexts.
