'Hail to the Thief II'
Brett Murray at Goodman GalleryThe now-infamous Brett Murray exhibition 'Hail to the Thief II' continues at the Goodman Gallery until 16 June 2012.
Much more than a one-trick pony, the show takes a broad swipe at the new dispensation in which tenderpreneurs and conspicuous spending have replaced the more ascetic values of the struggle.
The least-frequently acknowledged aspect of Murray's approach is also the most eloquent: his welding of resistance-era self-righteousness onto images and materials that speak of excess, with the flux of Soviet-style text.
