Don’t be offended!

I had to head into town today to pick up my new glasses. I was early so I nipped into the 20/21 visual arts centre to see what exhibitions they had on. And wow what an exhibition!

Chad McCail – All Together Now

“Factories, farms, churches and military installations have been recreated on a miniature scale in cardboard, wood, insulation foam and papier-mâché. Within this exquisitely crafted fantasy landscape, a war is being fought between the many and the few… not only for control of the city, but for the very idea of freedom!

Chad McCail’s work explores how our institutions, social hierarchies and economic systems condition how we relate to one another. He presents alternative ways of organising society, and offers different visions of the future.”

What struck me was the detail and almost darkness of thoughts about our current world!
