The Breeder gallery is excited to present three new shows as part of Remap 2; solo exhibitions by both Stelios Faitakis and Kalup Linzy, and preceding them the group show – ‘At Home He Is A Tourist’.

The Breeder Playroom presents an array of small pieces by an internationally and stylistically diverse group of artists. The viewer is invited on a whimsical journey through a picture-postcard art-land that errs toward the monochromatic and melancholic. Each work promises a miniature world of contemplation, seen as if through a window. As birds, bats and fantastical creatures flit amidst urbane cartoons and city scenes, figurative is placed beside abstract, concrete against emotive and myth alongside reality. Denying the works of original context, the show strips the viewer of his “period eye”, so that he becomes a tourist in the gallery.
