'A smile forms into a grimace mid-slumber as the earth spins— it’s funny, such is the sound of laughter — it is like god’s hands on the shoulders of a troubled world' by Spencer Lai forms part of Bus Projects’ ongoing 'With Compliments' series of exhibitions exploring the relationship between artists and their influences across generations and international borders and how these influences can remain a vital force throughout an artists career.
For the exhibition at Bus Projects, Spencer will present new and re-visited sculptural and installation-based works, alongside a video work by Paul McCarthy (with Mike Kelley) and a series of sculptural compositions by Lou Hubbard.
The second iteration of the exhibition introduces additional works by Hana Earles, Elizabeth Newman, Christopher LG Hill & Joshua Petherick, Kate Meakin and Samraing Chea. Works will be exhibited on partitions within the exhibition space. In addition to this, there will be an evening screening of screen-based works selected by the artist. Including works by Jordan Wolfson, Beth Caird, and Matthew Linde, with Harry Hughes and Giovanna Flores. Due to limited capacity attendance for this event will be on a first come first serve basis.
The exhibition includes a catalogue text by Audrey Schmidt.
