Details of the exhibition on the New Contemporaries' website.
Melissa was also included in the Telegraph's article on the exhibition, with her painting 'Joseph and the Technicolour Bankers' being the covering image.

'Many reference the economic crash directly: Marco Godoy’s choral video work “Claiming the Echo” (2012) explores the aftermath of the financial crisis in Spain. A choir sings protest slogans that are usually sung at demonstrations in Spain, adapted into a musical piece, using the composer Henry Purcell's scores. And Melissa Kime alludes to it more playfully in her painting “Technicolour Joseph and The Amazing City Bankers” (2013). Meanwhile, Simon Senn’s films deal with human behaviour and patterns of interaction. His film "Just Let Go" sets up the intriguing proposition of dealing with the financial crisis through the creation of filmed cathartic experiences that aim to release anxiety.'
