Negativlandland

September 9 – October 22, 2005

Please join us for the OPENING RECEPTION on Friday, September 9, 6-9PM

Gigantic Art Space is proud to present Negativlandland, a group exhibition by the Òcultural jammingÓ and collage group, Negativland, who use high and low tech approaches to make art and media that pose questions about the nature of perception, media control, ownership, and propaganda. This exhibition will take place in conjunction with the group's 25^th anniversary and will feature the collective's recent visual work as well as their trademark sonic work.

Over the years Negativland's "illegal" collage and appropriation-based audio and visual works have touched on many things - media hoaxes and pranks, anti-corporate activism, the banality of suburban existence, file sharing, intellectual property issues, media literacy, and artistic critiques of mass media and culture.

Negativland performs, lectures, writes and tours both in the US and in Europe.  Their work is not only included in college curricula throughout the US, but it has been discussed in over 30 books (including NO LOGO by Naomi Klein, MEDIA VIRUS by Douglas Rushkoff, and various biographies of the band U2) and cited in many legal journals.
