Hype, hustle, rip-off. That’s the title of Bill McMullen’s newest exhibition at LA’s The Constant Gallery, and is it ever fitting. McMullen takes aim at – and parodies – the visual culture brought forth by modern-era capitalism, and he certainly hits a nerve. A critique of the ‘buy now, think later’ consumerist impulse, McMullen explores advertising’s impact on visual art – or, quite simply, the hyping, hustling, and ripping-off of an art form. A visual treat and political statement, his show opens on February 21st.
