Starstruck:Contemporary Art and the Cult of Celebrity

When: until 15th June | Where: The New Art Gallery Walsall,Gallery Square, Walsall, WS2 8LG

Just like fast food, we love to consumerize our celebrities.  It’s all about who has put on a few pounds this week, who Is pregnant, who is wearing what and what is wearing who. Live by the media, die by the media, or be the subject of an exhibition at the  New Art Gallery Walsall.
This show brings together artists whose work discusses the cult of celebrity in a variety of ways, including Candice Breitz, Peter Davies, Alison Jackson, Yasumasa Morimura, Mario Testino, Gavin Turk, Francesco Vezzoli and Jessica Voorsanger.
