Drawing from the art-historical lineage of cubism, graffiti, cartoons, figurative painting and gestural abstraction, and appropriating subjects from mythology, advertising, print culture and consumerism, Aaron Curry's Bad Brain first survey exhibition at CAPC is an event. On this occasion, the american artist (born 1972 in San Antonio, lives and works in LA) has put together 80 artworks made between 2003 and 2014. They transform the nave of the CAPC into a spectacular "cage" and create a sense of vertigo synchronous to our digitalized world while questioning the Western artistic tradition. Bad Brain is as much about the breakdown of the human condition as it is the absurdities that define the perils of human evolution.
