SPIRITUAL PROMISES
from Lost Prophets
16th of October 2008
Cordy House
87-95 Curtain Road, Ec 21 3BS
Spiritual Promises from lost prophets is a group show of predominantly London based artists that premiered in Beirut, Lebanon in September 2008. The intention of the show was to reproduce the atmosphere and flavour of an east-London cosmicmegabrain group show; but also to nurture a cultural exchange by feeding from the experience. As a result the show now includes works from emerging and established Lebanese artists.
The artists on show offer a diverse range of observations and speculations on the plight of mankind and our perilous journey into the unknown. The resulting contrast in their outlooks is reflective of the nature of humanity; visions of future utopias and dystopias; interpretations of the present and realizations of alternative realities; the cycles of degeneration and regeneration in mystical landscapes and a cursed earth.
The backdrop of Beirut was a poignant reminder of the flux and disruption that can be wrought on landscapes and peoples by events both predicted and unforeseen. London itself has been no stranger to devastation and rebirth and as such is no less appropriate settings for these visionaries, these prophets of art, who are at once propagators of truth and fiction yet whose prophesies are true indicators of the human condition in these times.
Performance by Marc McGowan, Charlie Fox, Francis Thorburn
This is a stylish rolex daytona replica watch and it has a black dial. But I don’t like it. I’m bound to say. Let’s talk about the copy rolex. The most obvious is that the rolex watch is out of focus. And yet, despite the fact that critical sharpness on critical elements of a Rolex watch should be the first consideration, you’d be surprised how often this essential trait of a usable watch picture is absent, to one degree or another. (Remember, we’re trying to show a great rolex picture to you here, just a best fake rolex watch).
