“Adrift – The Unfamiliar Familiar in Modern Society”

Adrift will present ten artists whose photography engages directly with the increasing tension that exists between the familiar and the unfamiliar. For some it is our environment that remains constant, forcing us to seek new forms of interaction in a rapidly evolving set of relationships. For others, it is the world itself that is shifting beneath us, and we seek solace in the familiarity of routine and tangible connections. Are we searching for how we fit in to our world, or are we searching for a world into which we fit?

Gasket Gallery presents “Adrift – The Unfamiliar Familiar in Modern Society” whose exhibiting artists come from diverse backgrounds and theoretical positions, but all share the common experience of being Goldsmiths College alumni who studied the Photography and Urban Cultures course over its past 10 years.

The artists exhibiting are David Kendall, Gesche Würfel, Haraala Hamilton, Isidro Ramirez, Laura Braun, Lene Hald, Manuel Vazquez, Nora Alissa, Paul Smith, Simon Rowe.

Complementing the exhibition, Gasket Gallery will host the panel talk “Where did everybody go?” on 10 October. *IMPORTANT UPDATE*: The panel talk had to be CANCELLED unfortunately!
