Scott Listfield’s “1984” at Thinkspace Projects.

Currently on view at Thinkspace in Culver City, California is artist Scott Listfield’s unequivocally spectacular solo exhibition, “1984.”

“1984,” as the title suggests, invokes the dystopian futurity of Orwell’s 1949 classic, a text which has experienced a recent surge in Amazon sales, perhaps an indication of some collective, self-reflexive admission. This incidental fact piqued the artist’s interest in the current timeliness of the Orwellian nightmare; a vision of surveilled humanity seems somehow less outlandish and far-fetched in our era of simulated falsification and mediated experience. Our culturally dictated über reliance on social media, handheld devices, and virtual platforms, all in service of some feigned human connectivity, are forged through a bizarre consensual voyeurism – not such a far cry from Big Brother’s omniscience after all.

“1984” will be on view until January 27th, 2018 and should be sought out if in the area.
