4 – 18 September 2016

Pet Projects is pleased to present ‘Peer-to-Peer’, a group exhibition exploring the sociopolitical ramifications of networks and connectivity, sharing economies, both on- and offline communities, and collective action; and featuring the works of:

Benjamin Forster ( AU )
Nicolas Maigret ( FR )
Metahaven ( NL )
Lance Wakeling ( US )

Organised by Dan Bourke

“Over the past few decades, it has often been said that we no longer have an addressee for our political demands. But that’s not true. We have each other. What we can no longer get from the state, the party, the union, the boss, we ask for from one another. And we provide.”
