Disrupting Mythologies: Heist Event at South London – Tickets Available
Artists are often seen as thieves, stealing inspiration from the language of the city and the myriad worlds that intersect within it. They delve beneath the surface to uncover the profound urban mythology that unfolds before our eyes.
The highly anticipated event, Disrupting Mythologies, is making a comeback with a groundbreaking multidisciplinary exhibition in collaboration with SET. Taking over a repurposed office block in Woolwich, South London, this unique space will showcase the works of 18 mixed-media artists spanning painting, performance, sculpture, photography, and print.
By combining visual art with physical expression, these artists and performers aim to shed light on the pressing need to rethink and reimagine our reality. Each participant weaves their own unique narrative, bound together by a shared passion for mythologizing. As they navigate the bustling streets of the capital, their dynamic reflections offer a glimpse into the complexities, deep observations, and humor that define urban life.
A Glimpse into the Urban Tapestry
The urban environment serves as a canvas for a myriad of creative visions and architectural wonders. This diversity defines the experience of the Disrupting Mythologies exhibition, where shared beliefs and narratives provide meaning amidst the chaos of the city. Even amidst the steel, glass, and muted tones of urban landscapes, there exists a rebellious spirit that challenges conformity and embraces the unexpected.
Each artwork in the exhibition creates its own distinctive world, delving into the innermost depths of human existence. These pieces serve as rebellious interruptions in the corporate maze, pushing back against the norms of productivity, surveillance, and societal divisions. While the city may appear rigid and structured, the collective dares to dream, sparking conversations about the possibilities that lie within the cracks and crevices of city life.
Exploring the Boundaries of Reality
The Disrupting Mythologies exhibition is a vibrant tapestry of ideas and reflections that offer a temporary escape from the confines of reality. By blending the bizarre and the absurdities of modern life, the show challenges viewers to question the status quo and embrace a world of limitless possibilities.
Drawing inspiration from past mythologies, the participating artists invite audiences to immerse themselves in alternate narratives and moments of introspection. These works not only reflect society’s concerns but also serve as a lens through which to explore different perspectives and potential futures.
With a lineup of talented artists including both established members and emerging talents, the exhibition promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of urban life and the human experience. From Set Woolwich members to graduates from prestigious art schools, each artist brings a unique voice to the collective narrative.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the Disrupting Mythologies exhibition at Set Woolwich, Beresford Street, SE18 6BU, from 28th September to 28th October. Tickets are available now for an unforgettable journey into the heart of South London’s vibrant art scene.
