DAVID ATTWOOD, Azure Green (Protected by Witchcraft), 2025, MacBook Air laptop, adjusted vinyl sticker, 32.5 x 23 x 1.5 cm

In his second solo project with MOORE CONTEMPORARY, artist David Attwood presents a suite of new, wall-based assemblages. Continuing recent trajectories within the artist’s practice, the works in Azure Green explore the sculptural potential of branded objects and everyday appliances, and their relationship to concepts of magic, performance, and productivity.

Attwood’s juxtapositions highlight visual culture’s recent interest in the occult, as well as the relationship of branding to belief-systems. Of particular interest is the way that the titular enterprise – AzureGreen, an online retailer billed as “one of the world’s largest distributors of spiritual and mystical products” – in combination with mega technology company Apple, might work to epitomise the wholesale commercial co-option of “magic”: a set of practices that ironically were once seen as threatening to the indoctrination of a capitalist work-ethic.

Opening night: Friday, 21 March 2025, 5:30 pm.
