Ben Ely: Everything Must Go
Regurgitator’s Ben Ely showers Brisbane Powerhouse with fictitious products.
Overview
Fresh from rocking the Stones Corner Festival last month, Regurgitator's Ben Ely is taking over another Brisbane icon — and not in the way you might expect. An artist as well as a musician, music producer and sound designer, Ely is showing off his visual creations at Everything Must Go. No, it's not a sale, but you might feel like buying a few products that don't exist.
In this venue-wide glimpse into another side of his creativity, fictitious items are in the spotlight from May 16 to June 25. To find out what he's come up with, you'll have to go along. We could throw plenty of marketing spiel at you (or some steak knives), but that's the whole point of the exhibition.
It's free, so there's no need to dangle try now, pay later deals to entice you along — or offer up gifts. Expect colour, slogans and plenty of satire. If you've heard his music, you know what you're in for.
