Modern Art Oxford presents the first major exhibition in the UK of work by New York based artists Seth Price and Kelley Walker and the art and publishing collective Continuous Project. Price and Walker engage in a disruption of the cultural mainstream. Price describes his works as "non-specific form" in which text, sampled music, imagery and objects assume variable and interchangeable supports. Vacuum packed bomber jackets, wrap-around sculptures and found video and film footage from archival sources or downloaded from the internet can be found within his expansive repertoire. Walker uses the flatbed scanner and printer to create expressively worked images in which race, class and culture are equated with branded and consumable items. His recycling logos, rendered in a faux-gilt gold and silver foil operate as both image in sculpture, equally at home in a magazine page as in a gallery space, while rotating disco balls cast in solid chocolate, assume a deeply ambivalent presence hinting at viral proliferation.
