"The works of London based artists Konrad Wyrebek, Sarah Lucas, Matthew Miles and New York based artist Laurie Simmons, explore contemporary notions of the body in the capitalist fantasy."


(...) "Wyrebek's practice is also centered on the bi-phenomena of capitalist fashion and lifestyle consumerism, where building a certain kind of 'standardised' body in the media is treated as a new form of religion. Such a tendency can subsequently result in a submissive and sometimes even masochistic relationship to the manipulating voices of widespread media material."
