The Coningsby Gallery...
ArtHertz presents Cinemascope
- A solo exhibition of new print and photographic works by John
Foxx.
Address : The Coningsby
Gallery,
30 Tottenham Street, London W1T 4RJ
The gallery is open to the public from Monday the 3rd of December
through to Saturday the 8th of December, 2007.
John Foxx has made an idiosyncratic journey through popular music
since the mid 1970's having earlier experimented with tape recorders
and synthesizers whilst on a scholarship at the Royal College
of Art.
In 1979, he used synthesizers and drum machines to record Metamatic,
the first electronic album by a British solo artist. The album
is now credited as providing a blueprint for the evolution of
popular music to the present day and he has been name checked
by acts the likes of Klaxons, Ladytron, Gary Numan and Duran
Duran. Some of his work was recently showcased to a sell out
audience at London's Institute of Contemporary Art. There are
also currently plans for a major Foxx event involving large-scale
projection on Battersea Power Station in September 2008.
Parallel to his music he has also pursued a career as a film
maker and graphic artist. As well as gallery exhibitions and
installations in major international cities, his photographic
images have graced numerous book covers over the last ten years,
including novels by Anthony Burgess and Salman Rushdie.
The Coningsby Show is a unique event to see some of John's new
work - Grey
Suit Music
and Tiny
Colour Movies
