I took myself to see this exhibition yesterday with low expectations but found it really refreshing and amusing. He makes his ideas and the execution of them appear very simple but in fact the design of many of them is sophisticated and certainly the ideas, though they may be simple, feed and certain 21st century zeitgeist. They take the piss, have a poke at politics, contemporary art, the hypocrisy of some people and society at large, but sometimes his ideas are just plain silly like the taxidermy dog holding a placard saying ‘i am dead’
