The show features work by Mario Miron, Willie Young and Mac Katter, filling the space with a delirious meeting of sci-fi futurism, DIY trash aesthetics, pop and countercultural interpolations with a tinge of humour. The comic style of the exhibition extends to the press release, which consists solely of a screen-grabbed comment thread from a Jerry Garcia fan blog. On it, commenters speculate on whether Garcia had ever met science fiction author Philip K. Dick, making for an accidental work of conspiratorial online fanfic.**
