Throw Down Paperback
by NICOLE STANBRIDGE, Wendy Welch
Paperback
Description
This is an engaging and insightful look at the work of five artist trying to capture the spirit of the phrase "throw down".
To throw down can mean many things: to celebrate in a big way, to fight for something meaningful, or to contribute resources to make something happen.
This publication documents a group exhibition by five selected artists, driven by interpretations of the expression "to throw down." They use sculpture, video, photography, drawing and public intervention to address socio-political issues, economic struggles, to invoke a call to action or an invitation to play.
Satire and humour are strategically used as a means of contemplation and critique of relevant issues within society.
The artists selected for the exhibition were Sonny Assu, Gregory Ball, Megan Dickie, Tyler Hodgins, and Alison MacTaggart.
