CHARLIE TUESDAY GATES
THE MUSEUM HOUSE OF DEATH
23 May - 21 June
THE MUSEUM HOUSE OF DEATH transports you into a fantasy underworld where beauty and death collide with nostalgia and borderline insanity.
Forgotten lives and abandoned pasts are juxtaposed incongruously in shrines alongside absurdist humour and dark surrealism; the results are terrifying, intriguing, and alarming. Visual puns and contextual juxtapositions offer a surreal and derisive commentary on popular culture and tradition.
