The second show at the new Versus Gallery is coming up this Thursday, and this time at the new space attached to our studios in Richmond is yet another amazing international show featuring Denial!
Canadian artist DENIAL returns to Australia for his latest exhibition CONTROL+ALT+DELETE.
Does the world as we know it need a hard reset? International street artist DENIAL explores this question with his newest collection of visual subversions for Control Alt Delete, his inaugural exhibition at Melbourne’s Vs. Gallery.
CONTROL+ALT+DELETE examines the current corporate power structures that seek to control our thoughts and lives and, ultimately, our wallets. Through advertising and branding techniques, these companies attempt to alter how we perceive the world in order to encourage consumerism at any cost. The pieces in the exhibition work to alter our perception of these branded images in an effort to interrupt their function and to create a new dialogue about the nature of our capitalistic lives. DENIAL works to develop bold new meanings by taking these household names and iconography and reimagining their structure and purpose to foster alternative modes of thinking. How long can our society coexist with corporate values and aspirations? Is it time to reboot?”
Come on down to the gallery on opening g night to check it out, and if you haven’t seen the new space yet this is perfect opportunity to do so!
