Guerrilla Zoo's acclaimed annual Modern Panic exhibition returns to London for it's seventh edition. Curated by James Elphick, the show features a unique collection of surreal, controversial and provocative international artists and live art practitioners exploring the dark psyche of modern life.
This year's exhibition brings you co-founder and member of dance music pioneers The KLF, Jimmy Cauty who has distinguished himself as a musician, artist and cultural provocateur through fusions of high art and popular mediums, often to spectacular or controversial effect. Alongside, one of the most influential and innovative figures in twentieth century occultism, Austin Osman Spare. A natural artist and psychic, his work was full of grotesque, sexualized human figures and magical symbols. Spare’s explorations of the creative focus gave rise to an ontology and body of work that departs radically from conventional occultism, both then and now.
Over 50 contributing artists are participating over 8 days coinciding with Frieze as an antidote to bland commercial art. Modern Panic will be featuring rising stars of the new wave; political agitators Maslen & Mehra; hyper-realist metalsmith Mike Turner; surrealist master Gianluca Pisano; art and science meld together by Pascale Pollier; Peter Hanmer's figurative tableaux’s of varying scales populated by animal bone protagonists; and Emma Hopkins' intimate and dynamic portraits, amongst many more talented artists from around the world gradually being announced!
