The Good Tourist
For this exhibition, Luke Jackson has drawn upon varying representational strategies to make works that explore varying points of histories and the collected decontextualized nature of the image as a potential fabric for strategies of working. This exhibition has drawn upon Nabokov’s piece by piece revisionist interpretations of the explication of plot and biographical fabrication in his 1941 novel The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, the hypothesis elucidated by Burroughs that language operates as a virus infecting each host developing systems of control and Foucault’s discourse on the ‘discursive practice’ and how different forms of knowledge are organized and produced, ‘the good tourist’ takes an epistemological approach travelling between plots and ideas.
Opening times as follows: 5th May 12-6pm, 6th May 12-5pm, 12th May 12-6pm, 13th May 12-5pm.
