Won’t Get
Fooled Again Guaranteed to be an overview
of the pack of lies which constitutes much
contemporary art, Cack-U-Like's Jon Purnell has selected 15 video and performance artists to
play with our perception. Just as we agree to allow ourselves to be deceived by
animated film; believing, recognising and participating in its deception or
trick as an integrated constituent of the art work in which we take great
pleasure. In this latest exhibition from the Projektor team, Plato’s
description of Art as an imitation of an imitation is enthusiastically explored
leaving romantic aesthetics about Truth and Beauty with Keats’ Grecian Urn. For instance Karen Russo displays with her
video 'Candy House' an array of
functioning baby and toddler traps, whilst Cack-U-Like’s video 'Public
Request' tricks the public to pay towards their cappuccinos. Moreover, in
Beagles and Ramsay’s 'Nothing Sacred', a dummy is given commandments as if it was
a living being. Other artists contributing to this network of fabrications and
half truths include: Antoine
Catala, Erica Scourti, Jim Hollands, Dave Ball, Alex Staiger, Mark Brogan,
Jason Dee, Adam Fearon, Jonathan Trayner, Rose Eken. Preview: Saturday 13th September 2008, 3-6pm. Including performances by Calum F. Kerr, Alex Staiger and Simon Reuben White Directions: By the lake, centre of Southwark Park, London SE16 2UA Travel: Jubilee
