SUMMARY:Bluecoat: Bluecoat: Adham Faramawy\, Janus Collapse (the juice-box 
 edition)
DESCRIPTION:Janus Collapse (the juice-box edition)\nAdham Faramawy at Bluec
 oat\n\nFri 28th Oct 2016 - Sun 22 Jan 2016. Open daily 10am - 6pm. Free.\
 n\nBluecoat presents a solo show of new work by Adham Faramawy.\n\nLondon 
 based\, Dubai born artist Adham Faramawy (1981) is interested in the influ
 ence of technology on the construction of self and identity. The body is c
 entral to his practice and is approached as a primary\, sensual site in wh
 ich gender and sexuality are fluid.\n\nFaramawy’s career to date spans m
 oving image\, sculpture\, installation and print. At Bluecoat\, his first 
 exhibition in a major UK public institution\, the artist presents a new sc
 ulptural installation as the setting for LCD screens depicting unsettling 
 performances to camera.\n\nThese compelling moving image works co-opt the 
 special effects used in advertising to evoke desire for people\, things an
 d experiences. The artist combines these seductive devices of brilliance\,
  slipperiness and morphing with the transgressive aesthetics of 'body horr
 or'. Specific influences include Manga such as Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira (19
 88)\, Cronenberg's cult classic Videodrome (1983) and Octavia Butler's Xen
 ogenesis science fiction trilogy. Janus Collapse (the juice-box edition) p
 resents our contemporary reality as one in flux\, shifting between the abs
 urd and grotesque.\n\nAdham Faramawy’s Janus Collapse (the juice-box edi
 tion) is presented alongside Keith Piper’s Unearthing the Banker's Bones
  in partnership with Iniva and Arts Council Collection.
