Zusammenfassung:Andy Holden has created a total work of art about and in the ethos of MI!MS. Founded in Bedford by Holden along with his childhood friends, John Blamey, James MacDowell, Roger Illingworth and Johnny Parry, this art movement asserted that in order to make art one must claim the position of both irony and sincerity in equal and maximum measure. The work takes the form of a feature length film in seven chapters installed in a huge sculpture. It narrates a history of the formation of the MI!MS art movement which included writing ploays and performing songs as well as painting and performance ... A second work, 'Last stop for the Good Old Times (after the Age of Innocence), 1999-2013' is an installation of close to 3000 found images depicting idealised images of childhood ... An act of therapy, theory and obsession, the show attempts to deal with knowledge and naivety as well as irony and sincerity, creating a single work that is both a work about MI!MS and a work of MI!MS.
