An examination of the quest for the authentic and the spiritual in the ephemeral world of popular culture. Can you ever find the self in the other?
The battle is a fundamental aspect of many underground cultural movements- the M.C. battle, the one on one beat-em-up, cutting heads in a blues guitar duel, or turntabilst vs. turntablist. The Artprojx Dojo will explore these legacies, and how the idea of a quest for perfection is pursued through them. Bringing together an array of underground artistic forms, Kung fu and Chanbara flicks, hardcore fighting arcade games, comics and a dub sound system, Blandy continues his quest for identity.
Artprojx Dojo will feature David Blandy’s films, photography, posters, stickers, and kung fu artifacts.
