Disco Hospital features the work of six artists whose diverse practices utilise contrasting processes of drawing and collage. The show examines the different ways in which contemporary artists explore the possibilities that drawing and collage offer them and how these processes are still relevant in an increasingly digitised age. The artists involved, work in a variety of ways, from traditional pencil on paper to digital media to 16mm film.
A parallel theme of the show is how the work of the artists involved refers to certain ideas that are often closely related to Surrealism, those of automatism, dreams, obsession and fantasy, and examining the resonance that these themes still hold for artists today.
Yuri A produces short, elaborate 16mm films constructed from animated drawings, stop-motion animation and live action.
Paul Harper’s Dream Works are images of art objects that have existed fleetingly in the artist’s dreams.
Paul Lee constructs tiny sculptural collages culled from mass media images of idealised male figures
Zoë Mendelson makes drawings, paintings and installations, which consider the artifices of politeness and charm.
Lucie Russell produces obsessively crafted pencil drawings. Starting from the central point on a drawing board, she begins to work outward, stopping the drawing only as she approaches the edge of the surface.
Stephen Tunney is a prolific artist, illustrator novelist and musician. His drawings create fantasy worlds, made all the more unsettling for the seemingly innocent cartoon-like way in which they are executed. He has been releasing albums under the pseudonym Dogbowl since the late ‘80s, many of which were released on the influential New York label Shimmy Disc.
