The God of Small Things (Part 1)
Rubicon Gallery
Saturday 25 February, 5-7pm
25 Feb 2012 - 24 Mar 2012
The exhibition, The God of Small Things (Part 1), examines the everyday, and the small things and surroundings that deeply affect peoples lives. A number of diverse artworks address the intersection between art and the quotidian in the domestic environment. This exhibition questions the social and cultural associations of domesticity in contemporary society. The everyday, commonplace undercurrent to the exhibition interrogates roles centred around ideas of anthropomorphism, tradition, and reflections on gender. It invites the viewer to question appearances, stereotypes and the social conventions and expectations that one readily associates within this familiar, prosaic landscape.

Growing up is hard.
Awkward silences when you want to talk, really talk, to people your own age, people who are just as confused and bewildered as you are. Teetering on the edge of riot and raging against the collapse of society, a place that will never live up to your teenage dreams. So what’s the point?
