This Hideous Replica – Exhibition Catalogue
Lifting its title from a misheard line in a 1980 song by The Fall about a reclusive dog breeder whose ‘hideous replica’ haunts industrial Manchester, this experimental project—an admixture of artworks, performances, screenings, workshops, a ‘replica school’ and other uncanny encounters—adopts monstrous replication as a tactic, condition and curatorial framework for exploring algorithmic culture, simultaneously alienating, seductive and out-of-control.
Exhibition includes works by:
Amy May Stuart, Angie Waller, Anna Vasof, Debris Facility Pty Ltd, Diego Ramírez, Emile Zile, Joshua Citarella, Liang Luscombe, Loren Adams, Masato Takasaka, Matthew Griffin & Heath Franco and Mochu.
Performances, talks and workshops by:
Catherine Ryan, Ceri Hann, ‘cheerleading is without spirit’ collective, Chloë Sobek, Darcy Wedd, Eryk Salvaggio, Holly Childs, James Rushford, Jenny Hickinbotham, Jennifer Walshe, Joel Sherwood Spring, Marcus McKenzie, McKenzie Wark, Panda Wong, Roslyn Orlando, Sophie Penkethman-Young and Tomomi Adachi.
Curated by Joel Stern and Sean Dockray.
