UNIT LONDON

Last chance to RSVP and join us for Teiji Hayama’s I link, therefore I am private viewing and Transformations, a historic IRL and URL exhibition of NFTs.

 

Developing the themes of his previous exhibition, Fame, the show aims to convey society’s ever-growing obsession with celebrity and digital culture through an enhanced caricatural visual language. For the first time, Hayama has started using brand logos in his artworks, which are imprinted like tattoos on the bodies of his painted figures. Here, Hayama stresses the power of mass-produced imagery to draw society’s attention.

 

Transformations marks the close of a year in which the advent of creative new technologies and an ongoing global pandemic have disrupted the global artistic community as well as our entire lives. From the algorithmic harmony of Maxim Zhestkov to the brave new aesthetics of Marjan Moghaddam and Ellen Sheidlin, Transformations brings together a diverse group of artists who embody these seismic cultural and social shifts..

 

RSVP is essential. Please confirm your attendance by clicking on the button below and completing the registration form.
