LON Gallery presents a new large scale kinetic installation and suite of small sculptures by Melbourne based artist, Adam Stone.

The exhibition draws its title from the cultural theory of ‘winners and losers’, where society is observed as a competition, predicated by the desire for success. A foundation of late stage capitalism, these tropes are intensified by the prevalence of new technologies, including social media, which encourage the curated posturing of social, cultural and financial capital. Engrained in the fabric of Western culture, the 1913 idiom, ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ is a self fulfilling ouroboros, prophesying continual suffering in the pursuit of unsustainable excess.
