Curated by Giorgio Garippa and Oliver Palmer
SILENCE, EXILE, AND CUNNING:
These artists both show and shun their social realities, re-naming its images and objects: these subjects’ objects object to their objectification. They pull apart the visual languages of old and lyricise with new syntaxes. Ordinarily, working at or beyond boundaries only expands those boundaries. The romantic struggle to create apart from and beyond a system without engendering a new and possibly equally restrictive system is likely doomed from the outset… but we always carry on. Why?
Nevertheless, at this Joycean impasse of tradition and authority, these artists have taken on the challenge of re-creating themselves and their surroundings by arming themselves with nothing but "Silence, Exile, and Cunning."
