Description

Welcome to the pleasure zones of today's entertainment-driven consumer society. We are surrounded by a massive overflow of stimuli - a sea of images and information generated by television, movies, video, newspapers, magazines, cartoons, billboards, posters, and commercial packaging that transforms our everyday life into an endless loop of multisensory spectacles and fictions.The central theme of Let's Entertain revolves around the complex relationship between pleasure, spectacle, popular culture, and contemporary art through a diverse selection of artworks incorporating sculpture, painting, video, installation, sound, the Internet, fashion, and games. This international, multidisciplinary exhibition features work by some 80 artists from 17 countries who are focused on the influences of entertainment on art practices.
