Gasworks is excited to present the first solo exhibition in London by Belfast-based artist Bassam Al-Sabah. His work embraces the shape-shifting potential of computer-animated worlds, creating fantasy dreamscapes in which personal mythology, historical trauma and queer possibility intersect.

I AM ERROR explores the construction of masculinity in action-adventure video games. Presented in an immersive cinematic environment, Al-Sabah’s newly commissioned CGI films confront the armouring of the male body in gaming culture by queering its military ethos from within.

BASSAM AL-SABAH - EXHIBITION AUDIO GUIDE

In our episode this week we talk with Alessio Antoniolli from Gasworks. 

Alessio has been working with Gasworks for many years – starting off as a volunteer, he has helped to make it a major organisation in London for the development of artists – not only from the UK but from other emerging markets. 

Alessio explains what Gasworks offers in terms of its studio spaces and galleries along with its residency programmes and fellowships. 

We also discuss what artist representation means to Alessio and how Gasworks fits into the journey of emerging artists.
