“Slide Night: Philip Brophy”
Philip Brophy
21 Oct → 21 Oct 2009

‘What Goes In, Comes Out’

‘Having encountered Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Andy Warhol and David Bowie at an impressionable age, my predilection to the perverse and the playful has not diminished as my career has progressed. I have found great productivity in channelling their modernist and 'pre-postmodern’ quips, claims, theatre and subterfuge into the socio-cultural arena of making art.'

Philip Brophy’s work constitutes reworking pre-existing media, composing film, music and soundscapes, mixing, mastering, installing and presenting audiovisual work in surround sound environments. Brophy’s eclectic practice ranges from early musical experimentation, underground performances of deconstructed disco, to reconstructed soundscapes for rock video clips and new original scores for Japanese anime.

The Slide Night is a weekly series of talks in which different artists and arts practitioners discuss the influences – formidable and otherwise – in their own practice. What are the important influences in their practice? What got them started in the first place?
