David Burrows is an artist and writer whose work delves into the notions and concepts surrounding the new sacred and mass avant-garde cultures. He studied at Goldsmiths College, graduating in 1994, and has since been recognized with awards such as the Paul Hamlyn Visual Artists Award in 2003. Burrows' current practice engages with themes of fiction production and the transformative process, particularly examining ideas of impermanence and immanence. His artistic explorations include addressing violence, destruction, and the disorientation brought about by structural elements of sacred and mass media. Burrows has published essays and reviews in various magazines and journals like Art Monthly and New Left Review. He has also edited several books, including 'Whose Afraid Red, White and Blue' and 'Performance Fictions,' which focus on the intersection of art, performance, and political scenes. Through his work, Burrows seeks to provoke a shift in participants from 'work time' to 'sacred time' as embodied in the 'First Manifesto Plastique Fantastique.' He has exhibited extensively in the UK and internationally across renowned galleries and events.
