NO way in association with HUH.magazine present their first exhibition of 2012 at our Film Gallery, downstairs at DreamBagsJaguarShoes, from 29 March to 29 May, 2012.
PV: March 29th from 7pm till late.
The ‘2012 Phenomenon’ aligns various eschatological beliefs which dictate that on 21 December this year, the world will experience cataclysmic or transformative events. Some say this date will mark the end of the world, others the beginning of a new spiritual era: the end of a 5,125 year long cycle, to which we are being inexorably pulled….
The ambivalence of these supposedly monumental events is explored in a new exhibition of works created and curated by the NO way artists, imagined from their hideaway inside a post-apocalyptic bunker, representing something different for each: solace, or solitude, revelry or iniquity, madness or epiphany.
The collaborative installation comprises new works on paper and film by Sophie Alda, John M F Casey, Emily Evans, HIN, Leo Lachlan and Phil Harris.
Sophie Alda is an illustrator, artist and designer based in Hackney. Her work has been featured extensively in the press, lately at It’s Nice That, Design Week, Juxtapoz, Booooom, Computer Arts, Curbs and Stoops New York and Grafik.
