Residency program 0001 - thomas langley - courage

mono is pleased to present "courage" an exhibition by thomas langley. 
this will also be the first time mono residency is opened to the public. 

21.02.2020 to 06.03.2020


for this exhibition, the british artist langley explores his personal history growing up as the son of a banger race enthusiast. connections are drawn between the provincial working class motor sport and the sport of kings; the joust. sculpture, painting, video and sound are used to bring these two sports together spanning a gap of five hundred years.   

banger racing is a full contact motor sport. scrap cars are fortified and then raced with the intention of collision. a relatively unknown passtime to most, langley seeks to venerate or solidify the practice through making. in this sense these physical documents attempt to adopt a folkloric role in order to document an unsung modern passtime. 

although far from being noblemen in shining armour, the racers of the banger scene share their enthusiasm for macho bravado. courage it would seem is necessary to partake in such a sport riddled with danger. the thread of stupidity can so easily be confused as courage.
