With natural disasters and geopolitical crises sweeping the globe, apocalyptic doomsayers seem levelheaded these days. The artists of Helter/Helter, curated by Max Henry and Erik Parker, predict a grim future for us, mimicking the excesses of ideological fanaticism and warmongering in their work. Parker's own psychedelic paintings swarm with Technicolor figures and visual references to Islamic fundamentalism, while Johannes Atli Hinriksson's videos chronicle the blood-splattered adventures of clay puppets. Other artists use familiar modes of outrage — Dada-inspired collage, expressionistic painting, and sculptural assemblages — but many experiment with surprising mediums. Encapsulating the sentiments of the show, Dionisis Kavallieratos' expressive installation AAA!!! (Blue) extends from the wall — a dripping, cartoon exclamation of despair.
