Shitty Disco, a new body of paintings by Tala Madani is her fourth solo exhibition at the gallery.
Inside Shitty Disco a penis projects a cave-painting. Other figures project mise-en-scenes from their assholes. ‘Front projections’ demonstrate life, creativity and desire, while ‘rear projections’ refer to themes of death, digestion and ending . A litany of men appear as faecal supplicants, disco-dancers and babies. Shitty Disco is Tala Madani’s metaphysical nightclub—a super-natural space of ecstatic reverie and nightmare—and a place for Madani to play with archetypes of art-making, technology and consciousness.
