Curated by Chris RomeroMYTH AND MUTATIONS features six artists - Richie BrownRachel MacLeanJonathan MonaghanYara TraviesoWang Fe-Yeng and Yaloopop - "that combine symbols of the past with subject matter found in contemporary culture including emojis, memes, video games, and consumer products. The artists demonstrate that mythologies forever transform, coalesce, and split into new allegories. However, as these allegories undergo certain metamorphic changes, they acquire a close relation to present-day desires, fears, truths, and morals. On display is a diverse range of mediums including video installation, animation, illustration, and 3D printed sculpture." (Chris Romero)LINK
