When Monster Children and Asahi say they are going to put together a group showing there is none of that let’s-pull-Jo-Public-in-from-Sydney’s-COFA-to-fill-the-last-spot mentality. Nosireebob (no offence to COFA students intended – we are certain you have a very bright artistic future).
They venture out into the creative wilds of Australia, Canada, Germany and the US and come back with Jonathan Zawada, Alex Kopps, Stefan Marx, Luca Ionescu and Beci Orpin, ready to create.
In the resulting collection, Roku (six in Japanese), each artist has produced four works motivated by Japanese culture. Six fours are 24, and that’s how many works there will be on display. Add to that a collection of six “exclusive limited-edition” frosted Asahi glasses and you have 32 works. A noble number.
The exhibition opens at 6pm on Thursday 14th May at Monster Children Gallery.
Sydney: May 15 – 30
Melbourne: June 19 – July 4.
