The Threat of Chance
Posted April 27, 2008 by k_c_ in Events
Justseeds members Josh Macphee and Chris Stain are having a show that opens this coming Friday. Its a collaboration with Billy Mode, and pictures by Mike Brodie. We've been building since last Wednesday and hope to have a kick ass installation for you to poke your fingers on, so get your tetanus shot before you enter.
The threat of chance art exposition is based on the temptation of possibility. The possibility of change in the face of stagnation, the possibility of hope in desperate times, the possibility of alternative thought and lifestyle in the doldrums of complacency.For this installation a railroad shanty town has been recreated to further emphasis the struggle between hope and despair. Amidst a gallery filled of shacks made with found material and walls decorated with freight trains and decaying industry you will find photographs by boxcar culture enthusiast the Polaroid Kidd. Proletarian signs, flags, prints, and banners from author/activist Josh Macphee. Interactive sculptures, drawings, paintings and stencils, from graffiti artist Billy Mode, and the sociological display of hand cut stencils by Chris Stain. The Threat of Chance art exposition is pure socialist propaganda , (at least that's how the mainstream will see it) , so stop by opening night and they'll tear you a new asshole.
