SCATHING REVIEW OF FIRST HOLEgallery SHOW

"Eric Demetriou, the artist behind the aesthetically brutal A KANGAROO ATE MY CONCEPTUAL ARTWORK..It decays between the walls, has gone through an awful lot of research. He is very accurate (otherwise we would have witches all over the country and the world saying 'this is not a true representation of our religion'.) This is a true representation of Pre-natal, Post No-fi, Meta-Gothic extraconventionalism, the black arts, and black magic. And yet we have people that say this is merely fantasy and harmless for our children. Actually, what makes this more dangerous is that it is couched in fantasy language, and children's literature, and made to be humorous. It is beautifully installed, extremely provocative, and it just opens up children to want to have the next one. This is what is so harmful."
