"Masses"

by Michael Workman

Real Good

1205 Defoe St #1

August 7th // 7-10 PM with a special performance at 9 PM

ARTSIT STATEMENT:

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