As issues of cultural ephemerality and man-made waste rise ever higher up the social agenda, this summer’s show at Flowers East takes 'junk' as its theme. The works in this exhibition examine our attitudes to the objects we discard and the value systems we create. The title of the exhibition is taken from a lyric in the Beatles’ song ‘Junk’. The song’s critical thrust and flair for cultural commentary make it a fitting reference point for a show that both explores the boundary between aesthetics and excess and blurs the line of demarcation between the object and the abject.
