Buckle up.

Eva Dixon presses firmly on the accelerator in Crash, a new exhibition at Incubator exploring the volatile point where bodies, cars, sex and danger collide. Taking its title and atmosphere from J. G. Ballard’s novel and David Cronenberg’s 1996 film, the show brings together materials drawn from automotive culture and the erotic imagery long used to sell it. Seatbelts, tyre tubes and tensioning straps become sculptural material, tracing the narrow line between control and surrender as the body hurtles towards impact.

The Australian-born, London-based artist grew up around the visual world of their uncle’s garage, where automotive machinery and pin-up imagery occupied the same walls. An early encounter that has continued to fuel a practice concerned with the way car culture sells speed, power and masculine fantasy, all while keeping the soft and vulnerable human body strapped safely inside the machine. Across the exhibition, cars are treated as extensions of the body, imbued with fantasies of power, control, risk and escape. The crash signifies a point of rupture, where those fantasies begin to fracture.

Seductive and deliberately uncomfortable, Crash finds eros and destruction travelling in the same direction. The exhibition closes very soon – don’t miss out.
