Dryden Goodwin

Dryden Goodwin (b. 1971) studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and lives and works in London. Central to his practice is a fascination with drawing, often combining drawing with photography, film and large-scale screen-based installations with soundtracks. His work has explored the physical and emotional dynamics of different environments, such as airports, hospitals, religious spaces, and city networks; exploring their distinct qualities of time and space. He is concerned with particular interactions between people, frequently between himself and strangers. His work has been widely exhibited in the UK and abroad. Solo exhibitions include Cast (Photographer’s Gallery, London, 2008), Flight (Feldman Gallery, Portland, Oregon, USA, 2007), Sustained Endeavour: Portrait of Sir Steve Redgrave, (National Portrait Gallery, 2006), Flight (Chisenhale Gallery, London, 2006), Draw In/Draw Out (New Art Gallery, Walsall, 2004), Dilate (Manchester Art Gallery, 2003), Closer (Tate Britain, 2002). Group shows include Global Cities (Tate Modern, 2007), Strangers with Angelic Faces (Akbank, Istanbul, Turkey, 2006), Cross Town Traffic (Apeejay New Media Gallery, New Delhi, India, 2005), Clandestine (50th Venice Biennale, Italy, 2003), A Century of Artists Film in Britain (Tate Britain, 2003), Cathedral Camera (Baltic, Gateshead, 2003) and Reality Check (British Council touring show 2002/04). Works in public collections include, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, Arts Council of England and The National Portrait Gallery in London. He exhibits regularly with Stephen Friedman Gallery, London. A new monograph will be published by Steidl & Photoworks later this year.
