Animated Environments: Graham Gussin

About

Graham Gussin presents new and existing screen and text-based works that play with the stylistic conventions and visual troupes of cinema and film. Illumination Rig, his acclaimed performance-event work, will also be presented as an off-site piece, directly within the fast changing ‘developing' landscape of Elephant & Castle, as part of the South London Art Map's Last Fridays events. Graham Gussin works across media, including drawing, film and installation. He studied at Middlesex Polytechnic (1981-85) and Chelsea School of Art (1990), and has recently exhibited at Art House Foundation (2011), Turner Contemporary, Margate (2011), and Camden Arts Centre (2010). He is currently working on a new film project and is a lecturer at the Slade School of Fine Art. Animated Environments: Graham Gussin is the second exhibition in a series at Siobhan Davies Studios, curated by Charles Danby, examining the active potential of images as still frames of time, within the fields of photography, film and event. The series opened with Guy Sherwin's Movements in Light in 2011 and concludes with an exhibition by Steven Pippin in autumn 2012. Gussin will also take part in an Artist In Conversation discussion with renowned architect David Chipperfield on Sunday 24 June.
