Benedict Drew

Benedict Drew's video work A Tuning will be shown at Abject Gallery, Is This Thing On for Sunniside Nights, in Sunderland.

Abject Gallery presents Is This Thing On - a specially curated group exhibition that brings together world-renowned visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, and poets who reflect on the mundanity and culture surrounding them as sources for their work. Its title taken from one of the two thousand song titles—each phrased as a question—that appear in artist and curator Graham Dolphin's work ‘2000 Questions’. The questions may seem profound or enigmatic, their meanings having slipped from their original sources, yet they are just as likely to be absurd. This could serve as a metaphor for the exhibition—perhaps even for art as a whole—or maybe it was simply a last-minute decision to sound clever.
