This replica four-bedroom house recreates the bedrooms of some of Metal’s most devoted super fans, incorporating a ‘Metal Lounge’ which features new work from Una Hamilton Helle and Mark Titchner, as well as contemporary artists Jeremy Deller, Des Hughes, Jim Lambie, Sarah Lucas, Jessica Mallock, Mike Nelson, Simon Periton, David Shrigley, Hayley Tompkins, Cathy Ward, Charlie Woolley e, é claro, o próprio Alan Kane. O artista dos EUA, Ben Venom, usa estética tradicional de acolchoado e metais pesados para criar peças baseadas em têxteis que contrastam os componentes de contracultura de gangues, punk/música de metal e o oculto com o conforto da domesticidade.
All This Mayhem at MAC (Midlands Art Centre), 15 June to 8 September. US artist Ben Venom uses traditional quilting and Heavy Metal aesthetics to create textile-based pieces which contrast the counterculture components of gangs, punk/metal music and the occult with the comforts of domesticity.
Hand of Doom em Mac (Midlands Art Center), de 8 de junho a 1 de setembro features a collection of portraits of Black Sabbath fans wearing the ubiquitous battle jacket. The jackets are embellished, handmade and embroidered by the fans themselves, and worn to tell the story of their fandom and gig-attending history.
Monster Chetwynd: Hell Mouth 3 at Eastside Projects, 18 May to 27 July. Chetwynd’s fascination with Penelope Spheeris’ three-part film series The Decline of Western Civilisation (1981 to 1998), featuring many of the ‘most influential and innovative musicians and groups of all time’, has informed many of Chetwynd’s works over the past decade and takes centre stage in this large-scale sculptural and performative spectacle set within this industrial space in the heart of Birmingham.
Przemek Branas at Centrala, 22 June to 11 August. Branas, an award-winning and acclaimed Polish artist, presents an archival and research based exhibition, featuring materials, such as letters, cassette tapes and zines, collected by Polish fans at a time when Heavy Metal music was banned in Poland.
