Research Interests
Through drawing, film, installation, photography, and sound, my practice involves close observation of individuals and groups. I often seek to reveal people, places or issues that are overlooked or uncelebrated. I have created work for galleries, cinemas, museums, and for permanent and temporary installation in public space, as well online. Many of my projects centre around my connection with people through conversations and dialogue and via my use of drawing, cameras, and sound recording equipment, to negotiate intimate exchanges. Through my work, I'm attempting to reveal and reflect upon aspects of the inner and emotional lives of the people I focus on, be they strangers encountered in the city, family and friends or specific groups of people with a shared experience of work or environment. With drawing implements (pencil, etching needle, ink pen or digital stylus), with lenses (video, film or photography) as well as creating soundtracks, I distil intense pockets of time and experience and aim to evoke a heightened sense of each person I portray, as well evoking the atmosphere of the places I encountered them in. In recent projects, I have been driven by the inability of any ‘portrait’ to fully describe a subject and have therefore been curious to explore expanded notions of ‘portraiture’, both in form and approach to a subject. More than ‘bearing witness’ to someone’s likeness and that of the environment they’re in, I’m attempting, through drawing, editing, and scoring, to delve beyond the physical surface. I’m interested in the possibility of discovering underlying emotional and psychological structures and how these may implicate an audience, reflecting on and celebrating our shared human experience and opening up even metaphysical dimensions. It is both what is left out, as well as what is captured, that has the potential to activate a viewer’s imagination.
As the artist and conduit, I have also often revealed my own making process, to infer a kinship between myself and those who I encounter. There’s an underlying empathetic drive, to attempt to understand and connect to the world, through looking at the people in it and the different ways we engage with, and navigate it. I'm exploring how this both enriches our sense of the world and informs us about ourselves, offering wider insights into human nature. My practice reflects on the ethical dimensions of looking, I continue to be fascinated by the boundaries between anonymity and intimacy, public and private, singular worlds and group dynamics.

Exhibitions
Those Who Seek My Help 2019 - New Karolinska Solna, Sweden
Close: Artist’s Portraits 2018 - Drawings - Drawing Room, London, UK
Bringing together historic figures such as Ingres, Picasso and Hepworth, and recent and contemporary artists including Lassnig, Hockney and Landy, this exhibition reveals close encounters between artists and their subjects over the past 200 years. Remarkable drawn portraits, rarely seen, sit beside those made today, and demonstrate drawing’s enduring ability to bring characters to life.
Drawing creates the illusion of presence. Using precise lines, Picasso and Freud capture a posed subject, whereas Hockney catches his sitter unaware in a calligraphic flourish of ink. Portraits of family members by Cézanne, Auerbach and Goodwin convey the sense of an intimately unfolding situation through multiple, restless pencil or charcoal lines.
In self-portraits by Maria Lassnig and Nicola Tyson, evocative colours are used to express psychological states and bodily sensations. Landy, in contrast, conveys the demands of self-representation through spidery black lines that knit into staring eyes and a furrowed brow.
The individuality of Mounira Al Solh’s migrant and refugee subjects is captured through experiments with style and medium. Drawn on yellow legal pads, they evoke not only an illusion of presence, but act as a material reminder of the contemporary human condition.

'Seeing Hand' exhibition in Shanghai, China commissioned by Launch Pad, launched during ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair 2017 - Private residence, Shanghai, China
'Seeing Hand' is a film and a series of large scale frames housing hundreds of drawings of people, sites and locations in Shanghai made from direct observation by Goodwin during the course of several visits to the city in 2017. Commissioned for Launch Pad's inaugural commission in Shanghai. Goodwin was invited to make a new site-specific work for the Shanghai residence of Hong Kong collectors, Jane and Dominique Lee.
For “Seeing Hand,” Goodwin made several trips to Shanghai for a combined period of 6 weeks. During this time, he lived with the collectors, familiarising himself with the immediate neighbourhood, the Lees’ friends and associates, and further afield, with the public spaces and environs of the city. He made hundreds of drawings that chronicle the people, places, and situations he encountered. Goodwin also recorded the process of image-gathering on film that will be screened as part of the exhibition. The result is a piece that captures in micro and macro the combinations of old and new, traditional and contemporary, familiarly Western and distinctly Chinese, which distinguish Shanghai and the hosts themselves.

Unseen: The Lives of Looking wins First Prize in The Big Smoke competition of Krafta Doc International Film Festival, Glasgow 2017 - The Lighthouse Gallery Glasgow

'100 drawings: 3rd-9th of July 2017' exhibition at Typojanchi 2017, Mohm,
5th International Typography Biennale Seoul, South Korea 2017 - Culture Station Seoul 284, Seoul South Korea
Told through the prism of the artist’s drawing activity, the work captures an incomplete global ‘portrait’ at a period in time. Drawn from projections of streamed internet clips from news outlets and social media, Goodwin traces heads and faces in ink, featuring world leaders to people unknown. He explores the empathetic impetus to connect with others from the limitations of one’s own perspective, questioning how it is possible to relate to the complexity of the world and understand what’s going on. Grappling with the ever changing zeitgeist, through this highly personal mapping, it’s what the drawings imply which is ultimately more important than what they capture.

'Breathe' exhibited as part of Air: Visualising the Invisible in British Art 1768-2017 2017 - Royal West of England Academy, Bristol, curated by Gemma Brace
This major exhibition of historic and contemporary art traces the tradition in British art of finding inspiration in the air around us and skies above us.
Air explores how our interest in air and the sky has affected the work of British artists stretching across four centuries, encompassing representations of breath, the effects of the wind, and flying creatures (both real and imaginary). The exhibition includes loan works by JMW Turner RA, John Constable RA, Eric Ravilious, Christopher Nevinson ARA, Sir John Everett Millais PRA, Samuel Palmer and Dora Carrington, alongside work from leading – and exciting emerging – contemporary artists including; Liz Butler, Annie Cattrell, Mat Chivers, Peter Ford RWA, Freya Gabie, Neville Gabie, Dryden Goodwin, Polly Gould, Jemma Grundon, Luke Jerram, Janet Haigh, Stephen Jacobson RWA, Helen Jones, Janette Kerr PPRWA, Jessica Lloyd Jones, Ian MacKeever RA, Bridget McCrum RWA, Mariele Neudecker, David Pelham, Peter Randall-Page RA RWA, Berndnaut Smilde, Kate Williams and Alex J Wood.
Starting in the late eighteenth century Air charts the public’s fascination with experiments with air (including the development of air balloons), before progressing on to the industrial revolution, which introduced the concept of air pollution. The nineteenth century embraces intensive studies of clouds (newly classified by meteorologists), whilst the twentieth century encapsulates our wartime pre-occupation with aeroplanes and the intriguing trails they left upon the skyscape. Later works consider the physical possibilities of flight which shifted our perceptions of the landscape as aerial photography expanded our view of the earth from above.
Contemporary work introduces new environmental issues, making reference to climate change and air-borne disease, in addition to exploring air as an integral component to the process of making. Artists consider the relationship between art and science, combining painting, photography, sculpture, installation and film, to demonstrate how air is everywhere: essential to all our lives.
'I want!, I want! - Art and Technology selection from the Arts Council Collection, Museum and Art Gallery 2017 - Birmingham Museums, curated by Deborah Smith
An Arts Council Collection National Partner Exhibition
This exhibition features work by artists made over the last 20 years who have all been influenced by the rapid development of technology. The approach of each of the 26 artists and collectives to their practice is different, resulting in a rich and contrasting view of the world and the culture that surrounds us.
The artists have used computer animation, video, computer graphics, audio, photography, drawing and gaming technology to create films, moving image, sculptures, paintings, interactive games and small and large scale drawings. The artworks themselves tackle a range of themes such as human relationships and behaviour, surveillance and the habits of modern society.
The title is inspired by ‘I Want! I Want!’, an etching created by the artist William Blake over two hundred years ago. It depicts a tiny figure standing before a celestial ladder that leads up to the crescent moon. The image acts as a metaphor for humankind’s ability to dream and turn ideas into reality.
Works selected date from the mid-1990s to the present day and are drawn from the Arts Council Collection, Birmingham’s museum collection and other public and private collections.
Artists and collectives include: Daria Martin; Dryden Goodwin; Rachel Maclean; Julian Opie; Brian Griffiths; Stefan Gec; Michael Fullerton; Thomson and Craighead; Cao Fei; John Gerrard; Paul Pfeiffer; Aleksandra Mir; Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard; Edwin Li; Ryan Gander; William Blake; Ed Atkins; Shezad Dawood; Toby Ziegler; Fiona Rae; Eddy Kamauango Ilunga; Rose Finn-Kelcey; Gary Perkins; Massinissa Selmani; Alan Currall; Marcus Coates; and Clare Strand.

' Unseen: The Lives of Looking' screened as part of the Flaherty Film Seminar, New York City, BROKEN SENSES 2017 - The Anthology Film Archive, New York, USA
BROKEN SENSES explores the relationships between the senses, knowledge, the creation of memory, and our experience in understanding the world. How does one represent sense memory? Can one identify with sense memories one has never had through the experiences of hearing, touch, smell, taste, vision, kinesthesis, and altered states? Through personal and historical experiences, ranging from the joyful to the solemn, these embodied interventions conjure affective strategies to address blindness, sexuality, government surveillance, family, aging processes, death and grief, bliss, trauma, love, fear, and spiritual awakening.
Programmed by Ruth Somalo.

Unseen: The Lives of Looking Scottish Premiere at Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival - Hawick, Scottish Borders 2016 - MAIN AUDITORIUM, HEART OF HAWICK – TOWER MILL
Unseen: The Lives of Looking had its Scottish Premiere at Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival - Hawick, Scottish Borders in 2016. Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival is an international festival of experimental film and artists’ moving image. Alchemy Film & Arts was founded in 2010 and has produced seven editions of the Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival. The festival is produced in partnership with Heart of Hawick in the Scottish Borders.
'13 X Christine' exhibited as part of 'Stories in the Dark' 2016 - Part of the Whitstable Biennale 2016, exhibited at the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge, Canterbury
Stories in the Dark focuses on the magic lantern, a projection device invented in the 17th century that is often seen as a precursor to the cinema. Historically, magic lantern shows were the first time people saw projected moving images, and were used for storytelling, education, and entertainment. In profound contrast to our digital age in which the technology is largely incomprehensible, the magic lantern’s relatively simple analogue mechanisms and projected images paradoxically allow a sense of wonder, in which the viewer suspends disbelief and engages their imagination. Unlike cinema, which is pre-recorded, the creative act takes place live with the audience, encouraging a sense of participation.
Curated by Ben Judd, Stories in the Dark brings together artists Jordan Baseman, Adam Chodzko, Benedict Drew, Louisa Fairclough, Dryden Goodwin, Haroon Mirza, Lindsay Seers, and Guy Sherwin. Vintage magic lanterns, slides and related archival material are also on display.
The main exhibition is staged in the museum’s Special Exhibition Gallery, but works are also temporarily embedded within the Beaney’s unique permanent collections. The Victorian museum’s obsession with collecting and categorising objects from around the world can be seen reflected in the lantern’s use as a tool for bringing the distant, often ‘exotic’ and unseen world into close contact with the public; indeed the nineteenth century saw an historical overlapping in the development of the empirical and scientific with the irrational and mystical. It is this relationship between the distant and the near, between the unknown and the known, that lies at the heart of the exhibition.
Stories in the Dark is a collaboration between the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge and Whitstable Biennale.

Unseen: The Lives of Looking screened at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2016 - part of the 'Blind Spot' programme, selected by Dr Edwin Carels. 2016 - International Film Festival Rotterdam, Netherlands
Unseen: The Lives of Looking was screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) 2016 in curator Edwin Carel's Blind Spot programme.
'Despite – or perhaps thanks to – the enormous increase in and development of technology, to a certain extent we remain blind. The programme Blind Spots focuses on the invisible.' IFFR offers carefully selected fiction and documentary feature films, short films and media art. The festival's focus is on recent work by talented new filmmakers. However, within the four sections the Festival presents, there is also room for retrospectives and themed programmes.
'Poised' exhibited as part of the group exhibition 'Up/Down' 2016 - Holden Gallery, Manchester
The sensation of being up high can bring a sense of exhilaration and fear in equal measure. It can also encourage a feeling of control over what we see. To be down in the midst of things is to be caught up in the immediacy of the moment, supposedly a more grounded place to be. Though, neither places are perhaps quite what they seem. The exhibition works as a site where the perspectives of both up and down are tested out. Curated by Steven Gartside
Unseen: The Lives of Looking Festival World Premiere at CPH:DOX - International Documentary Festival 2015 - one of 16 films nominated for the international main competition DOX:AWARD, Copenhagen, Denmark 2015 - Grand Teatret, Cinemateket, Empire Bio cinemas, Copenhagen Denmark

Skill 2015 - Middlesborough Institute of Modern Art, (MIMA) UK
Skill is an solo exhibition at MIMA of Dryden Goodwin's original drawings and his film 'Skill' (2014) focusing on his encounters with twelve people from East Durham. Each person has a hands on, specialist skill, ranging from tattooing, to wood-turning, to pigeon fancying. Skill encapsulates the drawings Goodwin made observing each person at their endeavours with the conversations that took place. The film and the drawings are a celebration of dexterity, passion and commitment, capturing a shared deftness of hand and mind as each person transforms the materials they work with.
Skill was commissioned by East Durham Creates. Produced by Forma Arts. East Durham Creates is managed by Beamish, Forma, and East Durham Trust working in partnership. The project is supported by Durham County Council via East Durham Area Action Partnership and funded by Arts Council England.
Work, Rest and Play: British Photography from the 1960s until Today 2015 - The Pin Projects, Beijing, China
Curated by The Photographers’ Gallery, London, UK - touring China 2015-2016.
The Photographers’ Gallery, London in collaboration with The Pin Projects, Beijing OCT-LOFT, Shenzhen and with support from the British Council present Work, Rest and Play: British Photography from the 1960s to Today. Featured as part of the 2015 UK-China Year of Cultural Exchange, this will be the first touring exhibition in China solely devoted to British photography.
This exhibition presents a survey of over fifty years of British photography through the lens of documentary practices. Featuring work by some of the most significant photographers and artists of the time, it reflects photography’s growing cultural position both within the UK and on the international stage.
Work, Rest and Play features over 450 images by thirty-seven acclaimed photographers and artists working across a wide range of genres and disciplines, including photojournalism, portraiture, fashion and fine art.
Arranged chronologically the exhibition explores British society through changing national characteristics, attitudes and activities over the last five decades. Multiculturalism, consumerism, political protest, post-industrialisation, national traditions, the class system and everyday life all emerge under the broader themes of Work, Rest and Play.
Working life finds expression and contrast through Philip Jones Griffiths’ photographs of Welsh miners in the 50s Anna Fox’s study of London office life in the 80s and Toby Glanville’s portraits of workers in rural Britain in the late 90s; Rest is depicted through landscapes and portraits of the British seaside from photographers including John Hinde, Fay Godwin and Simon Roberts; while Play features humour and the rise of popular culture realised in Martin Parr’s colourful chronicles as well as Derek Ridgers explorations of subcultures and Terence Donovan’s definitive images of British fashion.
Additional works included in this exhibition are by Shirley Baker, James Barnor, Cecil Beaton, Jane Bown, Vanley Burke, Jason Evans, Julian Germain, Stephen Gill, Dryden Goodwin, Tom Hunter, Harry Jacobs, Tony Ray Jones, Karen Knorr, Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen, Melanie Manchot, Linda McCartney, Spencer Murphy, Mark Neville, Nigel Shafran, Paul Seawright, David Spero, Clare Strand, Jon Tonks, Lorenzo Vitturi, Tim Walker, Patrick Ward, Tom Wood and Catherine Yass.
Also on display is The World in London, a major public art project initiated by The Photographers’ Gallery in 2012 to coincide with the London Olympic and Paralympic Games. The project presents 204 photographic portraits, from both established and emerging talents, of 204 Londoners, each originating from one of the nations competing at the Games. It is a celebration of photographic portraiture as an artistic form of expression as well as the city’s rich cultural diversity.
Work, Rest and Play: British Photography from the 1960s to Today will be the inaugural exhibition in the new C2 Space, Shenzhen OCT-LOFT, China. The exhibition will continue to tour to Beijing and Shanghai at dates to be announced.
Skill - temporary project in public space - commissioned by East Durham Creates, produced by Forma Arts 2014 - Across East Durham
Skill, is a film in 12 parts, focusing on Goodwin’s encounters with twelve people from East Durham in the North East of England. Each person has a hands-on specialist skill, ranging from tattooing, to wood-turning, to pigeon fancying. Skill encapsulates the drawings Goodwin made observing each person at their endeavours with the conversations that took place. The film and the drawings are a celebration of dexterity, passion and commitment, capturing a shared deftness of hand and mind as each person transforms the materials they work with. The film was screened at various indoor and outside venues across the county, alongside images from the film being shown on multiple billboard poster sites, as well as a website
Commissioned by East Durham Creates and produced by Forma Arts.
Poised , Solo exhibition, Ferens Art Gallery, Hull 2014 - Ferens Art Gallery, Hull, UK
Poised, Solo exhibition, Ferens Art Gallery, Hull
In a series of interlocking episodes, Dryden Goodwin’s 28-minute film explores the physical and emotional dynamics of a group of young female divers. Portraying the girls on their own, interacting with each other, and under the rapt, imploring gaze of their coaches, Goodwin’s camera combines extreme close-up with oblique, atmospheric detail to illuminate their intensity of focus and their idealisation of grace and ’flow’. Looking beyond the arc of the dive itself to consider its metaphorical, even metaphysical resonance as a rite of passage between different states, Goodwin’s taut, pinpoint imagery and vibrant, serpentine soundtrack lend the divers’ devotion and zen-like composure an ethereal, otherworldly quality that makes each sudden plummet into darkness even more poetic and poignant. In this, the title, ’Poised’, has multiple meanings - evoking the space between practicing and perfecting a new dive, between stillness and movement, absorption and play; between being utterly ’in the moment’ and on the brink of imminent, inescapable change.

Poster Art 150: London Underground’s Greatest Designs 2013 - London Transport Museum, London, UK
Three animated poster from 'Linear' was one of 150 selected from the 3300 Underground-specific posters from the London Underground's 150 year history. The largest London transport poster exhibition in over half a century.
London Transport Museum’s blockbuster exhibition Poster Art 150 – London Underground’s Greatest Designs, closes on Sunday 5 January 2014. Supported by Siemens it showcases 150 of the greatest Underground posters ever produced and features works by many famous artists including Edward McKnight Kauffer and Paul Nash, and designs from every decade over the last 100 years.
BrightestLondon web
The posters were selected from the Museum’s archive of over 3,300 Underground posters by a panel of experts; the 150 that appear in the exhibition show the depth and diversity of the Museum’s collection.
It is also the last chance to have your say on the all-time greatest design by voting in the gallery or online in The Siemens Poster Vote. The most popular poster will be revealed at the end of the exhibition. Nearly 40,000 people have voted so far since the exhibition opened in February.
Entry to the exhibition is included in price of admission.
Since its first graphic poster commission in 1908, London Underground has developed a worldwide reputation for commissioning outstanding poster designs, becoming a pioneering patron of poster art - a legacy that continues today.
Our new blockbuster exhibition Poster Art 150 – London Underground’s Greatest Designs, will showcase 150 of the greatest Underground posters ever produced. Supported by Siemens, and forming part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of the London Underground, the exhibition will feature posters by many famous artists including Edward McKnight Kauffer and Paul Nash, and designs from each decade over the last 100 years. The posters were selected from the Museum’s archive of over 3,300 Underground posters by a panel of experts; the 150 that will appear in the exhibition show the range and depth of the Museum’s collection.
Poster Art 150 is a fitting exhibition to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the world’s first underground railway, as the last major Underground poster retrospective was held in 1963 to celebrate the centenary of the Underground. Well-known posters, including the surrealist photographer Man Ray’s ‘Keeps London Going’ pair, will feature alongside lesser-known gems. The exhibition will also offer a rare opportunity to view letter-press posters from the late nineteenth century.
The exhibition focuses on six themes:
Finding your way includes Underground maps and etiquette posters. It also includes posters carrying messages to reassure passengers by showing them what the Underground is like.
Brightest London celebrates nights out and sporting events, showing the brightest side of London.
Capital culture is about cultural encounters, be these at the zoo or galleries and museums.
Away from it all looks at the way London Underground used posters to encourage people to escape, to the country, the suburbs and enjoy other leisure pursuits.
Keeps London going features posters about how the Underground has kept London on the move through its reliability, speed and improvements in technology.
Love your city shows the best of London’s landmarks as featured in Underground posters over the years.

Breathe 2012 - The roof of St Thomas' Hospital, next to Westminster Bridge, facing over the river Thames towards the Houses of Parliament
Goodwin's artwork 'Breathe' was first shown set into London's skyline, as an 8-metre projection screen, constructed on the roof of St Thomas' Hospital, next to Westminster Bridge, facing over the river Thames towards the Houses of Parliament. From dusk, every night for 3 weeks, in October and November 2012, people on buses, in cars and on foot, crossing Westminster Bridge could see a animation made up of more than 1,300 pencil drawings of Dryden Goodwin 5-year-old son.
The piece, entitled Breathe, was part of a programme of artist and scientist collaborations called Invisible Dust. Curator and Director of Invisible Dust, Alice Sharp linked Goodwin with Professor Frank Kelly, an expert on lung health at King's College London and an advisor to the Government on air pollutants.
Goodwin in conversation with Professor Frank Kelly and Invisible Dust director, Alice Sharpe presented and discussed the projects and an Environmental Select Committee at the Houses of Parliament.
Exquisite Forest - Featured Artist, contributing a 'seed' animation 2012 - Tate Modern and Google
Featured Artist, contributing a 'seed' animation. This Exquisite Forest is an online collaborative art project, presented by Tate and Google, which enables people to create short animations that grow from each other’s contributions. It can be accessed via a website and through a physical installation at Tate Modern.
Taking as the starting point a series of short animation sequences created by artists represented in Tate’s collection, users of the website and visitors to the installation are invited to draw and animate new sequences and thus continue the ‘seeds’ begun by the artists. As more sequences are added, the videos dynamically branch out and evolve, forming multiple new visual narratives.
The project takes inspiration from the Surrealist idea of the exquisite corpse, a creative exercise in which one person begins a drawing or starts a sentence, then passes it on to a series of other people to continue. This Exquisite Forest explores what happens when the technique is reinvented as a new form of collaborative drawing for a global online community
The artists taking part are Miroslaw Balka, Olafur Eliasson, Dryden Goodwin, Raqib Shaw, Julian Opie, Mark Titchner, and Bill Woodrow. Tate have also invited Film4.0’s roster of talented animators to be among the first to respond to the artists by contributing new sequences to the site.
Flight and the Artistic Imagination 2012 - The Art Galleries, Compton Verney, Warwickshire
'Heathrow' by Dryden Goodwin (1994) shown as part of, this major exhibition exploring the instinctive human desire to fly from the classical era to the modern day. Starting with the imaginations of Leonardo da Vinci and Francisco Goya and ending with space travel, satellite images and everyday air travel, it is an exciting exploration of creative responses to flight.
Discover classical flight and the fall of Icarus. Learn about the Wright brothers, Yuri Gagarin and the history of aviation and space travel. Explore the uses of flight from everyday travel and transportation to sky battles and air raids. Enjoy spectacular aerial views and satellite imagery.
Flight and the Artistic Imagination includes an intriguing combination of paintings, sculpture, photographs, drawings, prints and video, by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Henri Matisse, Paul Nash, Peter Lanyon and Hiraki Sawa.
The exhibition contains work from national collections such as the Imperial War Museum, the British Museum, Arts Council Collection and the National Galleries of Scotland.
Poetry of Motion 2012 - National Portrait Gallery, London
The particular ways in which artists have sought to depict figures who, in their professional lives, are associated with activity and motion are intriguing. Taking the leitmotif of the moving body as its point of departure, Poetry of Motion includes some of the most ambitious works from the Contemporary Collection: of athletes and Olympians, dancers and choreographers; subjects whose dynamism frequently inspires artists to experiment with new forms or new media. Traditional painted, sculpted and photographic works operate as monuments that testify the strength and form of these elite bodies. Taking a different approach, other artists have incorporated a lightness of touch or non-conventional pose as a way of capturing something of the grace and vigour of their subjects.

COAX 2011 - Fotoforum, Innsbruck, Austria
In the on going series Mould the surface of photographs are given further dimensions. Using folding, scoring and puncturing, intense studies of heads are coaxed onto the cusp of three dimensions. In all senses of the word, Goodwin tries to discover a form for his speculations about these people, through his touch he attempts to reanimate both the surface and the underside of the photographs. Presented separately and in clusters Mould suggests a proliferation of associations, a breeding ground of imaginative connections. Goodwin, interested in the re-introduction of the hand and mind into the infinitively reproducible photographic image, shapes and constructs these photographic surfaces into unique low reliefs

For this exhibition, the relationship between vision and sound is inverted, with priority being given to the auditory. The visual is conspicuous by its absence, having been subsumed by sound, which creates a space for the audience to explore. The work can be seen as being made up of two components, the audio, which is installed in the gallery, and the implied visual, which is alluded to but remains absent in the main exhibition space with the exception of documentary evidence.

GRAND NATIONAL - ART FROM BRITAIN
9 May – 3 October 2010
Grand National is the most extensive exhibition of works by British artists to be held in Norway in over a decade. It takes as its starting point the contemporary position of artists located in an internationally bound artworld in which ties to nation and national heritage are no longer the dominant or defining strategies they once were. The politics of an election and the shadow of financial breakdown in Britain provides a cyclical point of vantage from which to look to the aggressive and divisive British politics of the late 1980s and the recession of the early 1990s; the rubble from which artists in Britain emerged with little to lose.

The artists were invited to make new works at a variety of locations on the Jubilee line, which was first opened in 1979. Since June 2009, they have been investigating ideas such as time, economics and travel and our changing relationship with them over the last 30 years. Each work brings a new understanding to these concepts in the context of the Tube. They provide insights into how we use our time when we travel, what broader ideas influence our reasons for travel and the nature of our individual and collective relationships with time and the network.

: CAST
24/1 - 8/3
In this exhibition, Cast, Dryden Goodwin presents five ambitious new series of works - Cradle, Shapeshifter, Casting, Caul and Rock. Each series features portraits of strangers captured by the artist as he has travelled through London. The title Cast suggests a plurality of meanings, all of which have resonances with the work, from casting a line to casting a shadow, from casting a film role to casting a sculpture, from casting suspicion to casting a spell.
Dryden Goodwin (b. 1971) lives and works in London. He graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 1996 and has exhibited nationally and internationally. The works in this exhibition were co-commissioned by The Photographers' Gallery and Photoworks UK.

Stay 2004 - Lighthouse, Poole, Dorset
Stay takes three distinct landscapes and presents the viewer with an experience of moving through space while engaging them in the contemplation of still moments. By presenting the individual photographs that make up the animated sequence with the projected image and soundtrack, Stay explores the interplay between momentum and inertia, the imperative for motion and the desire to be still and survey. The shifting soundscape fuses audio captured on location with additional orchestration by the artist.
This emotionally ambiguous journey, through man-made and natural surroundings, is both an invitation to linger in these environments, as well as a driving force to leave, as the viewer rushes through the fleeting landscapes. At what point in the journey have we come in? Is it impending danger, yearning or exaltation that creates the tension to move through or remain?

Everything Flows: The Art of Being in the Zone - De La Warr Pavilion
Coinciding with the London 2012 Olympic Games, Film and Video Umbrella and De La Warr Pavilion presented four commissions of moving image artworks on the theme of sporting excellence. Working in collaboration with top athletes and scientists, four internationally acclaimed artists considered the state of being ‘in the zone’ - the way in which athletes achieve a heightened sense of performance in which body and mind are operating in unison, at maximum impact and with optimum ‘flow’.
A series of talks, events and workshops were programmed to accompany the ‘Everything Flows’ exhibition. Each event intended to offer an insight into the creative process of the artists, illuminating the biomedical science behind the works in the exhibition, and providing an opportunity for audiences to find out more. See the Events section of the ‘Everything Flows’ website for more details.
Commissioned and curated by Film and Video Umbrella and De La Warr Pavilion. Supported by the Wellcome Trust and Arts Council England
