Whilst there I'll be sure to check out the new exhibition by my favourite artist, Michael Zavros, and Scott Redford.
Again, stolen from the IMA website (give me a break, I am on my lunch break):
"Seemingly infuriated by the old avant-garde presumption that artworks should criticise and challenge their publics, their subject matter, and the art of the past, the artworld is currently enjoying what Rex Butler has dubbed a 'post-critical' turn. Pop Life, a show which recently debuted at London's Tate Modern, celebrates artists who aim to please and entertain, who embrace commercialism and populism, and want their audiences to like them. They include Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Damian Hirst, and Takashi Murakami. Scott Redford vs. Michael Zavros brings this idea home, pitting two local post-critical artists—both born and bred on the Gold Coast—against one another."
