Interview with James Richards
Requests and Antisongs
ICA, London
21 September – 13 November 2016
Combining fragments of film,
music, vocals, erotica and medical documentary, James Richards (b1983, Cardiff)
creates site-specific audiovisual installations and morphing exhibitions, which
immerse the visitor in a kaleidoscopic and cinematic sensorial experience.
Keeping a diaristic digital scrapbook, Richards draws from this to create his
collages and assemblages, inspired by Dada.
Already having won the
Jarman award for film and video in 2012, and the Ars Viva Prize for young
artists two years later, Richards was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2014,
and will be representing Wales in Venice (Cymru yn Fenis) at next year’s biennale. He spoke to
Studio International during the installation of his exhibition Requests and
Antisongs, at the ICA, London.
