Artifiction: [29th July to 5th August, 2008]
Mutiny Media presents Artifiction, a unique exhibition celebrating hand-painted cinema advertising from Indonesia.

Indonesian billboard artists interpret film marketing graphics from all over the world onto canvas banners for local film advertising. This hand-painted practice is being rapidly fazed out as digitally printing these large cinema banners becomes a cheaper option.

This exhibition is an opportunity to view these prized examples of hand-painted billboard art. The exhibition includes examples of popular films from USA, China and Europe such as The Crow: Wicked Prayer from USA, Dragon Tiger Gate from Hong Kong and Shut Up (Tais Toi) from France.

The gallery will be over flowing with these huge, colourful and action-packed canvas banners which have hung outdoors and been weathered by the elements. We see a larger than life Harrison Ford in Firewall, but do not recognise him for his Asian characteristics. Hollywood has been reframed, mashed up and reconstructed for an Asian audience.
