Indepth Arts News: "Jason Rhoades: The Black Pussy... and The Pagan Idol Workshop" 2005-09-21 until 2005-10-29 Hauser and Wirth London London, , UK United Kingdom
In exploring the notion of the idol in contemporary society, Rhoades has spread through the main gallery space and Vault Room of Hauser & Wirth hundreds of different artefacts and texts that serve as a palette, alluding to the lonely sculptures and idols of the pre-Islamic Ka’ba.
For Rhoades, the prospect of our society worshipping at the shrine of consumerism is equally as perplexing as the worship of the idols in the time prior to Islam; he is attempting to emphasise the chaos and clutter of commercialism, its falsehood and the lack of clear vision that accompanies it.
