Meggs – Sons of Privilege – Lo-Fi Collective – Sydney
Friday 27th August, 383 Bourke St, Darlinghurst – 6pm!
Based on the lyric ‘we don’t want to be slaves to the sons of privilege’, this new collection of artworks and installation by Meggs reflects a freedom of thought and action and a frustration with institution and authority, be it governments, laws or religion. For Meggs, ‘Sons of privilege’, questions personal freedoms and liberties, the right to challenge ideas, politics and blind patriotism. Freedom of thought, self-expression and independence should be admired and we shouldn’t bow to the pressure of social stigmas, expectations, comparison or greed.
This exhibition follows Meggs’ sell-out show ‘King for a day’ in Melbourne and Hong Kong and is a continuation of the fragile nature of power, fame and fortune.
Jessica Charlotte’s latest exhibition ‘Nearest & Dearest’ explores the meaning of family and poses a fundamental question – should the definition of ‘family’ be confined to the constraints of species or should it extend to include those living creatures that form part of the strong emotional bond the binds our experience of ‘family.’
Opening 21st August 2-4pm
Exhibition: 21st August – 4th September Nexus Modern Art
