Martin Beck
Friday, 19 September 2008 -
Sunday, 9 November 2008
Gasworks Gallery, 155 Vauxhall Street , Vauxhall, SE11 5RH
How Much:
Free!
Nothing grabs the attention of Culture Editors like a really unwieldy exhibition title, and Panel 2: 'Nothing better than a touch of ecology and catastrophe to unite the social classes...' is up there with the best of them.
It's the name of Martin Beck's first UK solo show and it's taking place at Gasworks this month. The titular quotation comes courtesy of good old Jean Baudrillard: he was criticising his fellow leftie thinkers for skating over the big issues to focus instead on 'rivers and national parks'.
Beck's work looks at the contemporary obsession with glib eco-wankery in the light of this quotation and spans a wide variety of media, from print and photography to video, sculpture and architecture.
Until 09.11.08.
