"Bad News" Exhibition
Daneyal Mahmood Gallery
This event has ended.
For the end of the season Daneyal Mahmood gallery presents five artists who's work embody the passing year: Russian sculptor Peter Belyi reminisces unsentimentally about the fall of empires; Guerra De La Paz's Snake Charmer series recast the Power Tie as an emblem of submission and greed; conceptual artist Stephen J Shanabrook, known for his expression of beauty on the threshold of disaster, waterboard's two choir boys in chocolate; Leemour Pelli's paintings evoke the collapse of the human psyche; and Justine Cooper's fictitious drug "Havidol" - created for a disease she coined, Dysphoric Social Attention Consumption Deficit Anxiety Disorder - markets desire for those not satisfied with a generic sense of well being.
