Benedict Drew: The Saw Tooth Wave | Saturday 15 October 2016 – Saturday 14 January 2017 | CCA

The Saw Tooth Wave is an installation of new work by Benedict Drew, which includes elements of video, painting, sculpture, wall drawing, and a printed magazine. The exhibition continues the artist’s interest in the ways that technologies and cultural zeitgeists imbue our experience of the world. Taking its title from a type of audio wave form common to the sounds produced by audio synthesisers from the 1960s onwards, the exhibition uses this as a model for thinking through the question of how we relate to others via psychedelic abandon or direct representation; the new work expanding upon the wave form’s title (the tooth; the saw), its logic (based on harmonic synthesis of alternation and difference), and its somatic effects (electronic music).

Benedict Drew (b. 1977) lives and works in Whitstable. Solo exhibitions include Matt’s Gallery, London (2014), SASA Gallery, Australia (2014), Phoenix Gallery / Two Queens Gallery, Leicester (2013), Whitstable Biennale (2012), Cell Project Space, London (2012) and Outpost, Norwich (2012). His work is currently on show as part of The British Art Show 8, and has been previously shown at The Lofoten International Art Festival, Museum of Arts and Design, New York, Young Projects Gallery, Los Angeles, Import Projects, Berlin, Milton Keynes Gallery and ICA, London. Drew graduated from Slade School of Fine Art, London in 2011 and was a LUX Associate Artist 2011-12.
