Welcome to the Death Show is the second exhibition in a three staged project about death. It focuses on the portrayal of death in popular culture, examining the framework within which those responses are contextualised by the transference and distribution through layers of media.

Artists, including COFA graduates Brown Council, Jamil Yamani, David Griggs and Soda_Jerk, have responded to cinema, music, television and the internet to look at death that is both, real and imagined, permanent and temporary, ever present but distanced. The gothic, the gory, the romantic and the sentimental.

 

Artists include: Brown Council, David Griggs, Soda_Jerk, Jamil Yamani, Linda Brescia, Tony Garifalakis, Peter Madden, Tracey Moffatt, Ben Quilty, Jodie Whalen, and Alli S. Wolf.

Curated by Fiona Davies.

 

When: 19 October to 18 December 2009

Where: Parramatta Artists Studios, 45 Hunter Street Parramatta
