| Craig Foster, The Exhibition |
|
| June, 5 – 30 | King Kong Microplex, via Po, 21 Turin | Free Entrance |
|
Craig Foster in 2002 started creating a piece a day based on impressions from the news and it grew into an art blog of sorts with about 2000 images. The pieces intentionally add light relief to the political message conveyed. More importantly the work is an indictment of the direction that the United States is being taken and the ready acceptance of war and the notion that military intervention is an effective means of diplomacy between America and the rest of the world. Craig Foster has been an artist since the late 80's when at the beginning of the first Gulf War he began making protest art, never considering that the work would be relevant in the new millennium.
