The Hales
Gallery became the first target for "The creation of adam"
during the opening of Tomoko Takahashi’s new show
A small scale version of the 3 meter stencil (right)
depicts "The creation of adam", a half toned and defaced
version of michelangelo's Sistine chapel fresco. Thanks to speedy
work of James Evan and Borna at GRL, New York, these half tone masterpieces
are now hitting the streets of Britain. Venues already visited in
Cleethorpes, Gloucester, Preston and Sheffield. Various scales and
locations are planned in the near future so keep em peeled for an
appearance at a gallery near you!
Galleries exhibiting works include: Hales gallery London Arnolfoni
Gallery Bristol, Glasgow School of Art, The Watershed Bristol, The
Green Rooms Manchester, Cargo, Hales and the White Cube Shoreditch,
London, Warwick Arts Center, Coventry and The Baltic Gallery, Newcastle
for the 'Spank the Monkey' show .
New developments with MMs technology will soon make prints of these
works available to the public. In true counter productive style
these will generate localised art markets at a sliding scale of
popularist values. Click
