Spasticus Artisticus
15 Jan-27 Feb 2010
Ceri Hand Gallery
London SE1 0EP
Overview
The title for Ceri Hand Gallery's inaugural 2010 exhibition is taken from the song "Spasticus Autisticus," penned by the legendary Ian Dury of the band Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Wikipedia records the following entry about "Spasticus Autisticus": Spasticus Artisticus explores the outsize freedom inherited by those who deliberately select a life devoted to exploring objects and ideas for which there is zero use value. The exhibition-made up of the work of an appropriately large and not at all representative international collection of artist/collaborators-purposely turns its back on the success model recently adopted by rafts of artists around the world.
