Michael T Workman's first solo exhibition at Real Good Art Space, in Missoula, MT, August 7th. Show starts at 8:30 pm, live performance at 9pm.

Masses examines the ritual of consumption and the superficial ways in which value is placed in the object, by creating a pseudo consumer experience, in which the grotesque is relentlessly sold and reluctantly devoured. Masses is a multi-media art experience combining sculpture, performance and film. The exhibition centers around grotesque pink gelatin forms, which can literally be consumed. The desirability of these otherwise undesirable objects is superficially aroused through advertising, display, a live product demonstration, and pressure from the performers, all of in an effort to manipulate the viewer into partaking in the ritual of consumption.
