!Mediengruppe Bitnik: Too big to Fail Too Small to Succeed
3 Sep - 2 Oct
Private View 2 Sep 6.30-9pm
SPACE Courtyard and Mare Street Advertising Billboard
129 131 Mare Street, London E8 3RH

An intervention into the financial systems of London and Zurich.
Reconaissance, media technologies and advertsing playfully probe the
blind spots of the financial districts and question the shift in power
from state to corporation.

This is Swiss artist collective !Mediengruppe Bitnik's first UK solo
exhibition and is presented concurrently with an exhibition at Les
Complices in Zurich. It follows their three-month PERMACULTURES
residency at SPACE investigating the parasitic potential of media-based
systems against the backdrop of the financial crises. !Mediengruppe
Bitnik describe their work as an 'explorative practice' to determine how
systems can be subverted, interfered with and transformed.

Too Big To Fail / Too Small To Succeed is kindly supported by Swiss
Cultural Fund in Britain.
