Product Placement | Georgia Hutchison and Arini Byng

Product Placement

Living in a state of inflated consumerism and saturated by material and image culture, our generation’s sensitivity to commercialism and value is at once distorted and highly sensitised. Media propagates brand narratives, ideas of living and luxury: desires to buy, life practices and ideals to adopt, while digital communication allows the consumption of ideas, ‘style’ and product to be faster than ever before.

 Considering commodity and thingness, we see art objects responding to the greater commercial and economic systems in which they exist. Through process and technique, the values and connotations surrounding objects are contorted — the mésalliance of simulated ideals and authentic experience emerges.

Hutchison-Byng is a collaborative partnership between Arini Kai Cullen Byng and Georgia Charlotte Bloxham Hutchison. Since early 2012, the duo have been investigating shared aesthetic and theoretical concerns regarding object culture.

This exhibition is part of Dispatch, an exchange program between window  galleries across Australia. For more information please see the Dispatch website.
