Opening Thursday 23 January 2025, 6pm - 8pm
…Is somebody gonna match my freak? is an exhibition between the two multidisciplinary artists Asil Habara and Sophie Dumaresq. The exhibition title is taken from the title of the pop song by Tinashe that once went viral. The exhibition is a tongue-in-check nod to the two artists shared sense of humour and interest in online popular culture, shit posting and the very real-life currents behind driving viral trends.
Addressing topics ranging from the religious, to the popular reality dating television show “Love Island” and online consumer influencer culture Habara invites audiences to reflect on the profound intersections of culture and technology, creating visually arresting and immersive experiences. Seeking to engage, to question and to be part of a larger dialogue shaping the cultural landscape.
Together the artists invite the viewer to question the currents that shape their own material reality and cultural landscape, both IRL and online.
