"It has been nearly two years since James Cauty created his memorable Riot In A Jam Jar exhibition at the L-13 Gallery in London. His new offering enters a miniaturised, post-apocalyptic world: frozen in time, diminished destroyed, burned, looted, abandoned, derelict, devoid of people, of all life, apart from a swell of police. This is The Aftermath Dislocation Principle Part I, a vast 448 sq ft, 1:87 scale model (approx 1 square mile) detailing the desolate charred aftermath of what appears to have been a crazy and devastating mass riot. The rioters are no-where to be seen – maybe they've been rounded up already, maybe they are in hiding – the only visible populace are the 5,000 or so police at the scene and they appear bewildered, perplexed to the extreme. They're there with the vans, the weapons, the armour, all the paraphernalia of control and quell. But watch them peer nervously over the edge of ripped up motorways, or chunks of torn-up land mass. Regard their poses of confusion and subjugation. Stranded now, without anyone left to control, bully, kettle or arrest, they are faced with the realisation that the devastated riot zone they've secured, is the end of the world: not nigh, but now. They are adrift in a dislocated and terrifying reality, reduced to being mere spectacles of post-dystopian imaginings for an alarmist culture…." See here link Amicalement Armand |

Hmm. It appears that not only will The Revolution be televised after all, but it will be sold in numbered limited editions. The Franklin Mint seems to have found a way to adapt to the 21st Century. Well, more than I can say for myself. |
