With a faux D&G logo designed by Josh Petherick and James Deutsher, this show looks like something you might find next to the Louis Vuitton on Silk Street, Beijing.
Presented by James Deutsher and Christopher L.G. Hill, it's about how things jostle for space, get ripped off, get used by other people, form new meanings and connections in the process, and about the daily encroachments on our physical and mental spaces.
This last idea is highlighted by the use of multiple videos and monitors playing curated video work simultaneously. Artists involved include A Constructed World, Bianca Hester, Daniel DuBurn and Christopher L.G. Hill (collaboratively), Hao Guo, James Deutsher and Hao Guo (collaboratively), Kain Picken and Rob McKenzie, Nick Selenitsch, and Saskia Schult and Christopher L.G. Hill (collaboratively).
Christopher and James's sculptural work includes monochromed packaging boxes, deformed currency symbols and re-assembled blue-tooth devices. Make sure you pick up a copy of their SD&C publication. It includes contributions from everyone involved in the curated section of the show with a forward by Liv Barrett and a sticker described as awesome. For $5 you wouldn't get it cheaper in China.
