Magda Archer: #givemeeverythingandnothingbaby (2015) COMING SOON/ MAIN GALLERY/ JoaNA HADJITHOMAS & KHALIL JOREIGE: I MUST FIRST APOLOGISE… Sat 12 Sep 2015 – Sun 1 Nov 2015 Free entry Mon closed, except for Bank Holidays Tue – Sat 12:00 – 20:00 Sun 12:00- 18:00 This major new exhibition from Beirut- based artists Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige explore the history of online spam and scamming through film, sculpture, photography and installation. Giving a face to the ambiguous and hidden voices found in junk email, the artists create an immersive world that seeks to challenge how ideology is constructed. How do we develop intimacy and proximity with individuals whom we have never met? How are systems of belief valued? The artists map out a genealogy of online scamming, revealing a complex world where greed and desire question traditional ethics. As the narrative unfolds, a new colonial map of the world is presented, one where the victim and the scammer ART have very paradoxical relations. 03 Photo Credit: Paul Karalius, 2015 coming soon...
