The Dogma of the “First World Cargo Cult”: An Interview with Peter Adamyan December 11, 2020 | in Painting In year, hell, a universe where consumption and transportation of goods has been both a major metaphor for wealth, labor and access, it felt refreshing to see the works of Peter Adamyan in First World Cargo Cult, his new solo show at Spoke Art in San Francisco. As the show opened last week, Lyndsie Fox, Spoke Art Gallery Manager, sat down with Peter to talk about the scope of the show, the story behind the paintings and where satire fits into his style. Lyndsie Fox: Congratulations on the show, we’re so happy to welcome you back for your 4th solo exhibition at Spoke Art! Now for those of us who have never heard of them before, where did “cargo cults” originate, and how did this history inspire the current show?
