Never Mind The Bollocks: Here’s Amanda Lear serves as the vehicle for an exhibition, which consists of paintings by Amanda Lear and the work of nine contemporary artists.

This international and multidisciplinary exhibition in which the artists are actively involved, reintroduces the childlike games and spirit of the Dada and Surrealist movement by using a popular motive, which acts as a playful interrogation of Amanda Lear. Conceptual confusion, symbolic representation and ordered geometry are all part of an ingenuous fragmentation united by nine contemporary artists.

Drawing heavily on what has been written about Amanda Lear, as well as on the images that have been spread worldwide, Amanda Lear served as the wellspring of the imagination and the home of inspiration for the artists. Continued thought processes and investigations on the subject became a means of reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience so completely, that the world of dream and fantasy has been joined to the everyday rational world in an absolute reality, a punk surreality.

Participating artists include: Amanda Lear, Lisa Beck, Christoph Broich, Scott Hug, Michelle Lopez, Gina Magid, Kanshka Raja, Anna Sew Hoy, Ryan Steadman, James J. Williams III
