Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune

Dates: 16.9.2009 to 25.10.2009. An exhibition based on the production drawings made at the direction of Alejandro Jodorowsky for an adaption of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel 'Dune' in 1974. The contemporary artists are commissioned to make new work in response to these drawings and the themes explored in Dune. Steven Claydon uses a range of media to explore moments in history and draw provocative connotations between contemporary social concerns and obsolete ideologies. Matthew Day Jackson makes paintings, drawings and sculptures that tackle Americas colonial past and its environmentally rapacious present. Vidya Gastaldon creates sculptures, drawings, video animations and prints which explore the neverland between fantasy and reality in works which are microcosms of hallucinatory, saccharine symbols.
