Gary Stewart

Dubmorphology with Gary Stewart, Trevor Mathison/Obinna Nwosu contributed a piece to the exhibition Next We Change Earth, at New Art Exchange, Nottingham, 6 September - 26 October 2008.

Described as a “Digital Installation Curator”, Gary Stewart of Dubmorphology was one of four curators responsible for No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action 1960-1990, a sizeable exhibition and archive project, the centrepiece of which was a six-month exhibition that took place at Guildhall Art Gallery, London, 10 July 2015 – 24 January 2016. The exhibition aligned itself to, and had a pronounced interplay with, not only the struggles immigrant communities in Britain, particularly during the 1960s to 1980, but also some of the manifestations of these struggles, such as the Black bookshop, and Black British publishing initiatives.

Within the No Colour Bar catalogue, Dubmorphology was described as “a London-based interdisciplinary artist and research group formed by Gary Stewart and Trevor Mathison. through experimental approaches to sound art, live cinema and installations, Dubmorphology blur the boundaries between the sonic, visual and performative. Their practice is distinguished by an ongoing investigation into the unique spaces emerging in museums, art galleries and public spaces formed by the shifting intersections between audiences, authorship and participation. recent exhibitions, biennials, laboratories and performances include: Uprising, Bogata; Multiplicidade, Rio de Janeiro; Haus der Kulteren der Welt, Berlin; Art Dubai, Madinat Jumerirah; Tapei Biennial; W.E.B.
