Or if Saskatchewan isn’t your neck of the woods, how about Melbourne?
Later this month Uber Gallery will be hosting an exhibition of new works by Vipoo Srivilasa (one of my personal favorites, I love the humor and the politics of his work).
For the FUTURE
Runs from April 30 to June 1st with an opening 6.30 on the 30th.
From the media release:
“In this particular series, Srivilasa continues exploring the inherent commonalities between the cultures of his native Thailand and his new home of Australia, only this time the emphasis is on global warming and the damage caused to the coral reef of both countries due to greed and over consumption. He uses the coral reef issue as a link between the two places, as both face similar problems.
As Srivilasa emotionally expresses “…The works express my concern toward what happens to the world right now, especially to the coral reef where my heart belongs. The reef is where my alter ego, Mermaid, lives and now it’s being threatened by global warming. By making this series of work, I hope to increase the general public awareness of the importance and value of the living coral reef ecosystems and perhaps highlight their problems!”
Make sure to check out Vipoo’s website for more about the artist plus some great images of past work, workshops he offers and news of the upcoming events he’s involved with.
