kennardphillipps: Americas Greatest Hits Event

EXILE is pleased to invite you to an exhibition by London-based artist duo kennardphillips.

With the exhibition entitled Americas Greatest Hits kennardphillipps are responding to the rise of right-wing populism not just in Austria. The fragility of democracy and the dangerous undercurrents of current political speech and institutional violence stand at the center of the exhibition produced specifically for, and in response to, EXILE’s specific space and close location to the seats of power of the current right-wing ÖVP/FPÖ government.
kennardphillipps is a collaboration between Peter Kennard and Cat Phillipps working since 2002 to produce art in response to the invasion of Iraq. Their practice has evolved to confront power and war across the globe and is made for the street, the gallery, the web as well as newspapers & magazines. The artists also lead workshops that develop peoples’ skills to help them express their thoughts on what’s happening in the world through visual means. The work is made as a critical tool that connects to international movements for social and political change.
