Meggs – King for a Day – Opening June 25
Backwoods Gallery debuts with my third Melbourne solo exhibition, King for a day.
King for a Day is a brand new collection of paintings, screenprints and installations that examine society’s celebrity obsession through the prism of our own mortality and inner duality. An energetic depiction of those who crave power, wealth and fame in both life and death, King for a Day looks at how contemporary media and social networking has accelerated stardom and increased the pitfalls that come with celebrity attention.
Please join us for the opening reception of ‘King for a Day’ on Friday 25th June 2010, from 6-9pm.
