It’s Always the Others @ The Koppel Project, Jul 14 – Sep 5

11 July 2016

The It’s Always the Others who Die group exhibition is on at The Koppel Project, opening July 14 and running September 5.

British artists Louise Ashcroft, and Nicholas Abrahams & Nicholas Pankhurst will present video projection, screens, found objects and images in an immersive installation that is tied together by an “anarchic experimental process and tendency to mess around”.

The show, whose title is from Marcel Duchamp’s grave, is described as being like a fun house at the fair, evoking traditional forms of mass entertainment, “a collective funeral wake for the living; an uplifting apocalypse-party of absurd clutter”.

See The Koppel Project website for more details.**
