All I Want for Christmas Is You
Firstdraft gallery are bringing pop music and cheer this holiday season.
Overview
While the words ‘all I want for Christmas’ usually bring to mind cheesy rom-coms and Mariah Carey’s high pitched tunes, Firstdraft Gallery have something a little different in mind or do they?
Curated by Marcus Whale, All I Want for Christmas is You is indeed a celebration of all things pop and beyond. There’s Fatti Frances’ replica of a pop live show with a twist, Marco Cher-Gibard R&B cut-ups and Michael Salerno’s exploration of technological decay. The symbols of pop music have been remixed, reworked and shuffled double time. Pop music in this exhibition is looked at as something between the “common and the divine” where, “we, the listener and the fan, create the atmosphere of simulacra that provides sustenance for pop stardom.”
Other artists in the exhibition are Cassius Select, JD Reforma, Scott Morrison, O.B. De Alessi, Samuel Bruce, Romi, Thomas William (with Jonathon Watts). Oh, and there’s also celebrity fan fiction with Catcall and Kirin J. Callinan. Yup, that’s right.
The $5 entry includes a sausage sandwich.
