Andy Broadey’s White Machines (Cosmologies after Paul Neagu) is a series of drawings that examines the contemporaneity of Englishness, fusing symbologies informing the cosmopolitan origins of England in the first millennium AD with the technical objects of 21st Century globalism.
Andy Broadey (b.1978) is Lecturer in Contemporary Art, History and Theory at University of Central Lancashire, where he co-curates the art space Hanover Project. His installations exploit the discontinuities of contemporaneity to produce critical cartographies of diverse modernities and indigenous cultures captured by networked globalisation. Recent activity includes a solo exhibition at The Nehru Centre, London (2019), the symposium Art School Gallery? A site for radical and experimental exhibitionary practice? (2019), and for the collective @.ac co-authored articles in Research in Education (Sage Publishing, 2019) and Rethinking Marxism (Taylor & Francis, 2020).
