Gallery Exhibitions
contemporary work - in art, technology and social change
Saturday 16 June - Saturday 11 August 2012
Featuring: Class Wargames, Kimathi Donkor, Laura Oldfield Ford, The Hexists, IOCOSE, Dave Miller, Edward Picot, Olga P Massanet and Thomas Cade Aston, and YoHa.
Our social, economic and cultural institutions are being dismantled. Control over the provision of social care, urban and rural development, education and freedom of expression, is being redistributed to private enterprise at a global level. Undeterred artist-visionaries respond to these invisible forces with clear eyes, spontaneity, experimentation, play and a sense of adventure. The resulting mix of installations, digital video, net art, painting and drawings deal with conspiracy, money, politics, hidden signals and frustration fatigue.
Saturday 25 February - Saturday 28 April 2012 (Closed 6-7 April)
Featuring Annie Abrahams, Karen Blissett, Ele Carpenter, Emilie Giles, moddr_ , Liz Sterry and Thomson and Craighead.
Since the 90s the Internet and mobile networks have grown as cultural spaces for interaction - wild and banal, bureaucratic and controlling - producing new ways of 'being social'. Explore how our lives - personal and political - are being shaped by digital technologies.

Part of Furtherfield Clear Spots programme.
In partnership with CRiSAP - Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice from the University of the Arts London - LCC, Furtherfield Gallery is pleased to present Migratory Dreams – Sueños Migratorios, sound recordings of an improvisatory online performance event using spoken voice and pre-recorded sounds that took place between two Colombian communities in London (UK) and Bogota (CO) in August 2012. The performances were part of Networked Migrations, a practice-based research project which explored feelings of displacement and being in the ‘in-between' of migrants communities.
