Shit Art Club is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition: The Mac’s Church of Chang.
Church of Chang is a collaborative exhibition conceptualized and designed by The Mac and Shit Art Club. It features performances, site specific installations and interactive works that break down the barrier between the viewer and the artwork being exhibited.
Church of Chang is a body of work that highlights the interconnectivity and spirituality that exists - but is often forgotten in today’s world. Today, there is an illusion of divisiveness and soullessness that is perpetuated and magnified by our focus and dependence on technology and digital media. There are so many intangible assets and services at our disposal, we often take the path of least resistance and turn to them for convenience and instant gratification rather than working to cultivate something that brings true joy and satisfaction.
In Church of Chang, The Mac shifts focus from the splintered and superficial modern social scape by creating a utopia of hyper interconnectivity. His works blur the lines and illustrate how all bodies can become one. He paints in a minimal style - creating works that feel familiar - almost as though they are primordial - to remind the viewer that personal and spiritual relationships are inherent to humanity.
The exhibition space is being transformed into a place of worship - secular - but reminiscent of a western Christian Church. Like The Garden of Eden in Genesis, Church of Chang, is a complete utopia - made by a creator - that can and will only be destroyed by the imperfections of carnal desire.
Come witness the awesomeness and glory of The Church of Chang for the first time at our opening reception Saturday, December 14th from 6:00pm - 9:00pm.
