“Requiem to the Negativist Spectacle”
Arlo Mountford
4 Mar → 19 Mar 2005

Through rose tinted lenses we remember the events we read about, which happened before our time – those were the days.

The violence and energy, the hate – fuck you I won't do what you tell me —

Whoops – Sony own that! That’s my era anyhow when the Rage took high moral ground. Not like those good old days back in Zurich during the war.

Stockhausen now that was a negativist performance! Like the Sex Pistols on Today with Bill Grundy? Could we order some more of those mannequins from Jake and Dinos.

Requiem to the Negativist Spectacle is an interactive work consisting of constructed structure and animations.

Arlo Mountford has exhibited regularly since finishing a Bachelor of Fine arts at the VCA in 2002. In 2003 he undertook a studio residency at Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces.
