Virtual Tour: Cometabolism Studio - Mock Epic at Gallery All

"Mock Epic" is the first solo show by Cometabolism Studio in the name of art. Instead of intervening in urban corners, this exhibition is attached to the white box space of the gallery. While the work retains its design attributes, the narrative no longer begins with how to serve society in the name of art, but with the U.S.-Soviet space program. In 1952, the cover of the March issue of Collier’s magazine bore the line "Man will conquer space soon". Although, in the subsequent space competition, the U.S. and the Soviet Union launched artificial satellites, and the U.S. successfully landed on the moon, today, whether for the U.S. and the Soviet Union, or for all mankind, "conquer space" is still a joke. In the eyes of the two artists, such a cosmology is a "mock epic".
In this exhibition, Cometabolism Studio brings the space conquest plan of more than half a century ago into the everyday space, and reinterprets this "mock epic" in a flirtatious manner. For them, the utopian vision of the avant-garde has long been bankrupt, and today's design and art, though reconnecting art and life, are still subject to the dictatorship of the cultural industry and standard life. The authoritarian dictatorship of the Cold War is a testament to the common destiny of the two extreme ideologies shaped by the Cold War. What they are trying to do is to find a new way to rebuild the ambition of "emancipation" and a new goal for the future of everyday life in the middle of the two.
