Kemistry Gallery, 43 Charlotte Road, Hoxton and Shoreditch, EC2A 3PD
How Much:
Free!
This sounds pretty cool. This June/July Kemistry Gallery is taken over by 49 hand-painted totems made from reclaimed wood.
These pieces - the work of designer Damien Poulain - are inspired by ancient sculptures and religious symbolism, but they also constitute a response to the contemporary fetishisation of the so-called 'iconic'.
That today we worship at the feet of celebrity suggests perhaps that - despite our belief in progress - things haven't changed so much after all.
Until 18.07.09.
