SUMMARY:Walker Art Gallery: Walker Art Gallery: Benedict Drew: KAPUT
DESCRIPTION:BENEDICT DREW: KAPUT\n\nUsing a combination of video\, audio an
 d sculptural elements\, artist Benedict Drew reflects on society’s uncer
 tain relationship with technology. Beneath the image of Branson – who fo
 unded Virgin Galactic\, the first company dedicated to civilian space trav
 el - Virgin spacecrafts soar across two screens\, a foil backdrop flickers
  and the room buzzes with the sound of feedback\, accompanied by the eerie
  sound of a saxophone.\n\nFor the visitor\, psychedelic colours and music 
 combine to create an environment that appears to be straight from the arti
 st’s imagination. KAPUT (2015) presents a dark\, dystopian response to w
 hat Drew describes as ‘the horrors of the modern world’.\n\nArtist Ben
 edict Drew said: “KAPUT considers how the once utopian idea of space tou
 rism was lost to the ultimate oligarch adventure\, fronted by Virgin Galac
 tic. Much in the same way\, from the 17th century onwards\, the European G
 rand Tour offered a tourism experience that could only be appreciated by t
 he privileged\, wealthy few. KAPUT proposes an alternative\; to self-oscil
 late into a trance\, to trust in the visions – there is knowledge in the
  visions – and to travel the inner spaceways.”\n\nBorn in Australia in
  1977\, Whitstable-based Drew has exhibited artwork and performance pieces
  in solo and group shows both in the UK and internationally.\n\nRunning al
 ongside KAPUT\, the Walker will also present a selection of works by artis
 ts from north-west England.Looking North (28 October 2016 – 26 February 
 2017) showcases paintings\, ceramics\, sculpture and film\, some of which 
 have been drawn from the Arts Council Collection. Works by Mary Griffiths\
 , Joe Fletcher Orr\, Paul Rooney\, Jason Thompson and Jesse Wine feature.\
 n\nVisitors can also see ZOO LOGIC by Mark Leckey at the Gallery until 26 
 February 2016. This exhibition presents two unmissable installations by Tu
 rner Prize-winning artist Mark Leckey: Inflatable Felix and FEELINTHECAT\;
  a 70th anniversary Arts Council Collection Commission.\n\nThe Walker Art 
 Gallery has recently been announced as an Arts Council Collection National
  Partner. The Arts Council Collection is managed by Southbank Centre\, Lon
 don on behalf of Arts Council England.\n\nFurther details of the National 
 Partner Programme will be announced on 27 October.\n\nwww.liverpoolmuseums
