TRANSUBSTANTIATION
16 - 24 Nov 17
Skip Gallery, Hoxton Square
Turk teamed up with Skip Gallery to create Transubstatiation, a one of a kind box of skips crisps, showcasing the tongue-in-cheek nature of the artist’s work.
Through his staple themes of authenticity, Turk provides a humorous commentary on consumerism. The skips crisps are reminiscent of sacramental bread, which are transformed into the body of Christ through transubsatiation. Turk reminds us that anything can become 'art', transformed by an artist's signature.
Through his classical style, this work allows us to question the very nature of a skip as a place to dispose of rubbish and our relationship to what we throw away.
