Death of an Idea consists of a selection of the postcard sized photo collages shown earlier this year at Peter Milne’s acclaimed exhibition at One Star Gallery. Created by the artist initially as a warm up exercise for a larger project, each work is made with a combination of found material, recycled images from Milne’s own archive and a line of text cut out from the seminal, but now dated, art historic text 'Civilization’ by Kenneth Clark. The result is surreal and unnerving, but as always with Milne, delightfully, profoundly ridiculously funny.
