Trinketorium – an exhibition at the Graduate School (Alison Hulme)
Every year a tanker from China brings Christmas to Europe in the form of cheap plastic trinkets. On its way home it collects waste plastic, recycles it, and sells it back to us in the form of plastic novelties the next Christmas.
Trinketorium is a collection of photographic works from across academic disciplines that attempts to capture the 'logic' of the trinket economy and the lure of the bargain within a globalised and globalising world.
Consider it as a picture diary of a current-day flaneur. An Arcades Project of the disposable. A comment on collecting. A struggle with capitalist ills through the flotsam and jetsam of quotidian existence. Generation quick-fix gone crazy.
You are warmly invited to the opening of the exhibition.
Drinks and snacks will be served.
