A firm Nuart favourite, Word To Mother, will be opening a new solo show at Stolen Space this coming Thursday. We had the pleasure of a studio visit not so long back and can tell you the detail, not to mention the soul, in this new body of work is a real development.
The video really captures the feel and detail that goes into one of WTM's pieces, a refreshing change from the usual banging Hip Hop soundtracked stencil art videos.
BLIND BY STARDOM
Private View: Thursday 7th October, 6-9pm
‘Blind By Stardom’ the much anticipated solo show by Word To Mother invites the viewer to look past the exterior or what is immediately apparent and question what is behind. Referencing popular childhood characters Word To Mother asks the viewer to question the agenda of media that is subjected to us, involuntarily sculpting our values and opinions.
‘Blind by Stardom’ is a comment on society being conditioned to worship fame and celebrity status as a way to keep the masses occupied so to keep them from questioning anything. Distractions in the form of everything from fluffy rendered characters to synthesised pop songs and reality television are used as a front to conceal a more sinister agenda. Nothing is as it seems, taking a cynical view of visual language we are confronted with everyday, nothing is literal anymore.
A limited edition of 100 zines with hand printed cover, full colour print, signed and numbered by Word To Mother will be exclusively released, available from Friday 8th on the StolenSpace website
