Elvis has just left the building

curated by Boris Kremer (Luxembourg) Elvis Has Just Left the Building features existing and newly produced work by 11 international artists foregrounding the cultural myths that have left their mark on popular imagination. The wide array of interventions sets out to examine the origins and motives of firmly rooted collective beliefs, fears and expectations. Sightings of extinct animals, conspiracy theories, UFO abductions, the ubiquitous Elvis apparitions and other compelling myths from Australia and abroad are among the topics tackled by the participants. Shifting from truth to fiction and back again, the show attempts to unravel our manifold apprehensions and misreadings of which urban legends are the fantastic echo.
