Moon Lands on Man
WHAT
The American contemporary artist (b.1962) is known for his unique style of blending classic pop art with contemporary themes, such as the current space-themed exhibition, where the artworks appear to be constructed out of cardboard. The tongue-in-cheek presentation incorporates satirical and ironic commentary on American culture, consumerism, and politics, and is not only thought-provoking, but challenges societal norms and beliefs.
WHY
As the artist’s aim is to let his audience interact with the artworks, his installations are fun and whimsical, and allow his audience’s imagination to run wild. Perhaps the exhibition will leave viewers with a heightened awareness of the complexities of human nature, as well as question the enduring power of conspiracy theories?
