The new show Augmentationality at Vacinsoft Artspace this weekend features the infamous Lucas Haverstone and his fictional Chalker Plantation.
Vacinsoft curator Harlow Hoskington: ‘We’re all about the DIY ethic over here and we’re excited about the addition of Lucas to our rotational activist bank of eight.
Artists are clamouring to exhibit in our gallery which is in fact an understated cool place.’
However, Lucia Klintoven from The downtown Stephenson Gallery is less than impressed as she explained in her slot in contemporary art journal Mercia Magazine.
‘I’m really unsure about the events at Vacinsoft. Pointeso needs to strive to produce true edgy art that offers provocative contemporary installations by some of the best emerging artists. The Vacinsoft shows are intellectual flat liners. How many more fictional pastiches of the art world do we need Harlow? The joke is a mere juvenile dilettante. If I see the work of yet another imaginary artist…’
