PooR Life by dog people

PooR Life by dog people is a joint exhibition of new work by Owen G. Parry and Beth Emily Richards exploring a mutual fascination with participatory fandom, poor copies, and amateur-expertise. 

Their interest in the confluence between avant-garde and mainstream culture finds curious expression through both solo and collaborative works comprising of sculpture, sound, drawing, and moving image. 

The show’s title PooR Life looks beyond fandom as mere imitation or deprived repetition, to explore fannish desire, consumption, and production as a mode of possession and embodied experience <*random energy spikes*> that forms new minor languages and image worlds. We R all dog people now.   

An exhibitionis supported by a-n artist bursaries.
