Following the media scrum and high density crowds of Dismaland, for those unable to attend and for those who were rushed through, L-13 LIW and Illuminate Productions are pleased to present Jimmy Cautyʼs Aftermath Dislocation Principle (The ADP) for public exhibition in London.
Crashing together the boundaries of high art and mass culture, The ADP is a monumental post-riot landscape in miniature; a dystopian model village where only
the police and media teams remain in an otherwise deserted, wrecked and dislocated land.
It seems that in this ʻpost-eventʼ world the police have nothing left to do and some, becoming aware of their predicament, peer nervously over the edge into the chasm.
Jimmy Cauty and his small team of helpers painstakingly created this vast and intricate scene over a period of 9 months using traditional model making materials and techniques. Entering into the world of hobbyist model-makers and turning it on its head, The ADP presents a flipside narrative packed with exquisite detail and apocalyptic humour, making for an intensely engaging experience.
NEW BEDFORD UNDER CONSTRUCTION
A POST DISLOCATION PARADISE IN PROGRESS
During the exhibition visitors can also witness the construction of a new section of the model being made onsite
in a makeshift ADP Workshop.
NEW BEDFORD RISING
Connected to the main section, via a suspension bridge, will be a massive construction site in the shape of the Tower of Babel. A spiral city where an immense (1/87 scale) 323 metre Solid Gold Pyramid is being built to usher in a New Edenic Era that the constabulary believe is imminent. New Bedford is rising from the wreckage; a paradise where policemen and women can roam free, living idyllic lives and raising their young in a crime free epoch of law and order, peace, and eternal bliss.
