Self Help at Rawson Projects
Organized by Jocelyn Miller,
Self Help is a group project featuring the works of CONFETTISYSTEM (Nicholas Andersen and Julie Ho), Thomas Jeppe, Georgie Roxby Smith, and Pinar Yolacan. It is one of the gallery's first "concept-driven" exhibitions, focusing on the modern day obsession with "self-improvement," and the subsequent spiral towards self-destruction.
According to Miller, the works address
"strategies we use to control, change, or preserve the self, there emerges a sort of radical, technologically-assisted narcissism, a mania characterized by a desperate, ecstatic striving for a perceived enlightenment or perfect state of being."
