The Never Never
solo exhibition Jeremy Hutchison 

Casino Luxemburg 
03.12.22 - 29.01.23 

“Did you know, there are more Porsches in Athens than anywhere in Europe?”
(from a phone conversation between the artist and his father)

The Never Never was triggered by a piece of fake news. It was produced in Athens by UK artist Jeremy Hutchison and Belgian curator Evelyn Simons, in collaboration with Nova Melancholia - an Athenian performance troupe. This new body of work comprises a short film, photographic series, collage paintings, performance and sculpture. It will launch at the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof in September 2022, before touring to Casino Luxembourg in December 2022 and EMST Athens in 2023.

In this work, a fake Porsche 911 is divided into eight parts and worn by Athenian performers. Like hybrids from ancient mythology, these farcical creatures emerge from the sea, navigate a series of epic landscapes before arriving at a photo studio. All this is documented by an advertising film crew, who in turn become actors in the performance. The Never Never explores contemporary myths: fake news, luxury branding, national stereotypes and global capitalism. It examines how right-wing media used ownership of Porsches to make false and xenophobic allegations about the Greek debt crisis. Indeed, the project’s title is slang for debt: it refers to the apparently never-ending number of payments on a loan.
