MATHEW PARKIN

About

Supercollider is pleased to announce Mathew Parkin's 'When Passive Agressive Strategies Fail To Get Results' as the next exhibition in the 2012 programme. Parkin's disperate practice sees him operating within a wide definition of contemporary abstract sculpture and installation where his work concentrates on the construction of identity through performance, taste, the communication of physical experience and the potential tension derived from crossovers within the field of design and organisational mechanics. This tension is underpinned by Parkin's ownership and authorial voice with the work also displaying allusions to issues of sexual, cultural and spatial identity. His most recent practice has seen the increasing fluidity of identity, particularly in relation to internet driven culture and fashion as something which has grown in importance. NOTE: Mathew Parkin's 'When Passive Aggressive Strategies Fail To Get Results' will be held at 59 Cookson Street site. ------------------------------------- Mathew Parkin lives & works in Norwich, UK.
