HIVES BY DAVID DIXON 13 - 21 AUGUST @ STADE HALL HASTINGS

Hives David Dixon 13- 21 August Tues- Sun 10 - 4pm Private View: Friday 12 August, 6pm David Dixon is a nationally exhibiting installation artist, currently based in the South of England. Uncertainty, impermanence and the active role of subjectivity are central to his work, which refers to modern physics and cognitive science.      More recently, Dixon's work has been evolving into an increasingly process-oriented exploration, often expressing itself through the use of particle-based materials such as dyed rice-flour and quartz powder. He uses the impermanency of the unfixed dust, and it's potential to be damaged, in order to frame the work as a process rather than a discrete object. The use of books is also an important element in his work. As well as being multi-facetted cultural devices, rich with associations of history, knowledge, identity and memory, he also uses them in a sculptural way, emphasising their phenomenological aspects. David Dixon has created an intriguing site specific installation using books within the new building the Stade Hall as part of the programme Project, funded by Hastings Borough Council and coordinated by Creative Coast. http://www.coastalcurrents.org.uk Stade Hall, The Stade, Rock-a-Nore Road, Hastings, TN34 3FJ
