Symbolic Exchange & Death pt. II
Yumihu Contemporary, Dover Street, London
Tuesday, July 31- Tuesday August 7 2012
"So art is dead, since not only is its critical transcendence dead, but reality itself, entirely impregnated by an aesthetic that holds on to its very structuralism, has become inseparable from its own image. It no longer even has the time to take on the effect of reality. Reality is no longer stranger than fiction..."
- Baudrillard
YuMiHu is pleased to invite you to the 2nd edition and closing week for the exhibition 'Symbolic Exchange & Death' hosted by Wolf & Badger: a group show introducing new artists whose works compliment the existing theme of 'Identity and the Movement of Signs' and communicate , the need to consume ever so uniquely in their own style and discipline.
The exhibition is continuing at The Gallery at Wolf&Badger in Mayfair, London until 7 August 2012. This edition of the exhibition includes paintings, sculpture, collage and print and interactive installation pieces. Conceived as a single exhibition of varyingly diverse disciplines, "Symbolic Exchange & Death" makes use of this multi-faceted idea of society to create an exhibition that dialogues with its audience.
Eleanor Fawcett's works explore the creation of identities as a "multi-media folk/auto ethnographer or cultural archaeologist discovering and documenting everyday explorers, magicians, visionaries, the whimsical and the galvanizing. Through a process of self- othering, [she] strives to render the extraordinary ordinary and the ordinary extraordinary."
Pinky Love delves into notions of life and death, ideas of rebirth and how society can be sometimes oblivious to the temporariness of it all. Aestheticity is both questioned and created in her work.
Eleanor Barreau's painterly skills form an investigative narrative of images sourced from Vogue in 2010. As did a majority of the female populous, Eleanor came to the conclusion that "the concept of feminine beauty has evolved from a voluptuous ideal to an androgynous yet overtly sexual being, an almost unachievable illusion if you will."
In conjunction with the exhibition will be the publication of a fully illustrated, comprehensive and definitive catalogue of all works made by the artists present in the show. Published by YuMiHu London. Expect beautiful and emotive, original contemporary styles presented freshly and simply. For those already familiar with the artists’ work, this stands to be a revelation; for new audiences, it is a fascinating introduction. Not to be missed.

" All that is kitsch is academic and all that is academic is kitsch" -Greenberg
"Camp is a lie that dares to tell the truth"- Susan Sontag
A curatorial amalgam that brings together threads from different stories in a new
quadrifarious configuration. And the quartet on the programme, ladies and gentlemen is "Cowboys, Raves, Feminists and Pop Icons". Indo, a convivial space with its elegant 19th century classical stucco frontage and its charming bohemian interior seemed the appropriate setting.
