DELICIOUS
In this circus of peculiarities, Mojoko explores the boundaries of the beautiful and the grotesque. In his first solo show we discover the fine line between the grotesque, the strange and the fantastic. With priveleged access to the Vue Privee archives, he has unearthed some bizarre documents and photography and remixed them to become the basis for this show.
Mojoko's intense graphic style is a reaction to todays bombardment of images in global mass media. HIs upbringing in Hong Kong has influenced his work being surrounded by eastern and western advertising from an early age. Currently Creative Director of Kult magazine, he is part curator, part designer but 100% strange.
Pretty Grotesque will be held from March 10 – May 22, 2011.
Venue: Vue Privée, 20 Cairnhill Road
Singapore 229652
Opening Hours:
Monday – Wednesday: by Appointment only
Thursday – Sunday: 12noon – 8pm
