Introducing..

A Sweeter System of Donation (Apple Flavor)

Keith Wong

6th August - 5th September 2010

Opening night 6th August 2010 6-8pm

Michael Koro presents two potentially scandalous exhibitions for the August show, Keith Wong's A Sweeter System of Donation (apple flavour) and Robin Healing who represents himself as subject, performance and artist as the one entity.

Both artists are leaping from the barely formulated platform of relational aesthetics. They engage with the art gallery as both a stage and a prop and invite attendees to be part of their self-prescribed psychosis through interactive performance or begging the viewer to donate, by a philanthropic gesture, thus incorporating the viewer and complete the work…

Michael Koro Galleries:

Proudly presenting Keith Wong.
“In support of the artist, a system of donation has been devised.
A system that will only accept coins at the point of insertion.
To give, the artist would ask that you add to the works value by adding to its weight.
The measurement of which also incorporates a consideration of apples.
An essential ingredient that holds the whole system in place, as the artist sets the gift in motion, to achieve in this work, the exploits of giving.”

Melbourne Propaganda Windows and Blender Projeckt Space:

Proudly presenting Robin Healing, a unique individual who possesses a divinely magnificent gift that defies scientific understanding and human comprehension. Are we ready as a species to accept this gift that spans beyond our conventionally accepted normality? Are we ready to open our hearts without the boundaries our minds so easily impose to become childlike again in our ability to receive nourishment divinely offered as our birthright? Find out for yourselves in a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Healing in the flesh as he makes 2 weekly appearances over the duration of his tenure with us.
