“The Taymour Grahne Projects’ Holland Park Gallery in London is showcasing the work of James Bartolacci with his new Life Without Night exhibition - from June 12 to July 14. Covid, so it seems, has rendered the club scene a relict from another lifetime. More than a frivolity, clubbing is and remains a space for queer people to genuinely feel safe and be themselves.”
“From broken motherboards, plastic to electrical wiring intricately moulded together to establish a cyberpunk apocalyptic aesthetic, he amplifies and investigates the connection and relationship between humans and technology. He delves into the world of transhumanism as a spiritual transcendence and the future of humanity in augmented bodies. Not only are his dioramas kicking the cyberpunk genre into even high gear, but they are also made to function. His models raise important questions, albeit fascinating to examine; they also operate and serve as a practical contraption for everyday use.”
