This year’s Dialogues presents, new work by Emily Fogarty and Ewan Sinclair produced under the title “Omega Workshop”. Appropriating the name from the Bloomsbury Group’s design enterprise both artists have plundered consumer culture in search of fragments and motifs to bend to their means. Whether it is the pattern of a curtain in the background of an episode of Smiley’s People, Swatch watches or segments of adverts gleaned from the internet they have adapted these sources into a colour-saturated, 80’s infused paean to domestic design and its glossy products. Although sharing sources their approaches are very different, Ewan Sinclair’s use of contemporary technology contrasting with Emily Fogarty’s more traditional modes of production results in an interesting conflict of craft vs digital.
