EXHIBITION INFORMATION

RUBBERWORK / COPYWORKS is a rubber stamp/colour copy exhibition/installation by Chuck Stake Enterprizes, with an installation by special guest artists The Skep(tic)ks.

The rubber stamp has overtones of officialdom and bureaucracy; employing stamps in the production of artworks provides such works with a double reading – art subverting the system (rubber stamps were illegal in many of the former East Black countries). Stamps provide an inexpensive, primitive (simple) and self-contained method of reproduction for images/ideas. The works are about life and the interconnectedness of everything. The works are about trying to see the situation holistically and our complete and total failure to do so.
