Event overview
Organised by the Department of Art, artist Damien Roach will speak on his practice at Goldsmiths
Damien Roach‘s work is like a do-it-yourself kit for rewiring the human brain, where it is not the (ordinary) materials he works with that are transformed, but rather the way we see the world around us (Skye Sherwin, 2008). The found object becomes an artefact which functions as the materialised end-product of certain world views, as a symbol of understanding and interpretation of the past and future (Melanie Bono, 2007). A multiplicity of sources funnels into situations best described as ‘constellations of possibility’, a firmament of incessant creative arbitrage (Martin Holman, 2007). Each exhibition space is posited as a sensory adventure, where artfulness is intended to trigger new horizons of meaning (Francesco Pedraglio and Caterina Riva, 2008).
