The new solo exhibition by Andy Holden at Block 336 was built in the four weeks leading up to the Covid-19 enforced lock-down in Britain and was never opened to the public. Instead, it remained sealed shut like a cartoon-tomb. Transformed for a new era of cautionary and tentative exhibition viewing, it finally opens on Thursday 17th September for six weeks.
This week’s Top 5 Art Exhibitions to see include: Elephants, enlightenment, cartoons, an overweight car and a bionic chimp.
Andy Holden has sourced over 400 illustrative clips, the range of references – from cave painting to Futurism to Slavoj Žižek to quantum mechanics – is dizzying, and the analogies he draws out of the material are persuasive and witty.
Over the last century cartoons and their cultural iconography have been used as a means of relaying important messages in art.
