PASSION PALETTE | Guerilla Zoo: Modern Panic
Posted by Daniel Cordiner in Last Chance, Free Exhibitions
Enter an alternative world... A World, which frills, scares, shocks & provokes the curious mind. Enter.., Guerilla Zoo: Modern Panic...

This unusual annual exhibition indulges in a somewhat macabre flavour featuring art, music & theatre in the hub of East London. This years event shows the works of 60 artists, whilst also including performance art from rather interesting themes attracting audiences from around the World.
This series of exhibitions is inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky, a master of the multi-arts specialising in the surreal. He was a founding member of the Panic Movement, an art collective, which was formed as a response to surrealism becoming widespread. The focus of this group was of the chaotic and surreal interpretations of Performance Art.
Curator, James Elphick succeeds in recreating the unsettling notion of this experimental approach combined with an inclusive overtone, which encourages its viewer to explore in their own way.
Expect the unexpected as you witness a cast of multiple mouths clamped by their bite dripping in treacle, a disturbing caged woman & a sculpture of a naked elder attached to breathing apparatus surrounded by equally alarming pictures & paintings.
A sense of adventure prevails as different impulses are stimulated with a variety of reactions to that on display.
A celebration of everything dark & different....
