Panacea
is an expandable and travelling artwork currently being developed by Michael
Pinsky, Zoë Walker & Neil Bromwich to function as a universal
formula to cure social, economical and political problems. Pinsky,
Walker & Bromwich search for artistic ‘solutions’ that
simultaneously offer viewers/participants an aesthetic experience and
a practical tool to improve life. Panacea strikes a fine balance between
naive optimism and an ironic critique on society’s increasingly
untenable expectations of artists as: maker of beautiful objects, social
reformers, economic revitalisers and catalysts for all things good.
