Gallery presents HYPER REALITY DIMENSION XX, an express ticket
to the world of electric cult mythologies birthed during the antiquated
age of CRT TV, VHS, and NES.
Its
the summation of all the insane cartoons youve watched during
the 80s with adult themes and bad lip-syncing, all the marked
to clear B-grade sci-fi/horror movies your asshole best friend
has given you as a birthday present, all the video
games whose pixelated graphics were so damn good that they made
your eyes bleed and your thumbs sore from extended play. Its
the manifestation of all the crazy cult shit that your fragile
brain has absorbed growing up as a kid and rediscovered in horror
and delight as an adult.
Via
various techniques and mediums 20 artists regurgitate and re-imagine
the cult classics that they so readily devoured during their youth,
expressing the oddities and splendour of the modern electric age
that has shaped their early years and has infiltrated their art
practice today.
Featuring
artists Jodee Knowles, Chris Yee, Rebecca Murphy, HOUL, KID9,
OX, Bafcat, Claire Orrell, Sam Octigan, Lizzie Nagy, Gerald Leung,
Luke Marcatili, BOB, Iconica, Ala Paredes, Bryn Desmond-Jones,
Jonathan Verzosa, Sam Hoh, Jacob Rolfe, and Jin Hien Lau.
Join us for for complimentary drinks provided by Viking Beer,
live art, and future beats and rhythms provided by Misworthy and
Alice Whyte.
The
exhibition will also run alongside an online catalogue with works
for sale from 20 to 30 April, allowing interstate buyers to remotely
buy works.
