One Person's Materialism is Another Person's Romanticism

The group exhibition One Person’s Materialism is Another Person’s Romanticism is a collaborative project from the artists Anthea Hamilton, Lorna Macintyre and Rallou Panagiotou.

The title of the exhibition, One Person’s Materialism is Another Person’s Romanticism, is derived from the writings of American sculptor Robert Smithson, and suggests the elusive nature of truth and the pragmatic dichotomy in the experience of real time and physicality.The three artists juxtapose their distinct practices, bringing along with them personal choices of works by other artists as well as objects, film stills and TV footage in a way that goes further than being stylistically or contextually precise, but extends to create a landscape of private matters.

The first version of the exhibition One Person’s Materialism Is Another Person’s Romanticism was created as part of the invited programme of the Remap festival in Athens in September 2011.
