Abstract or Description: | This was an exhibition of artworks by 40 artists. Works included collages, drawings, posters, archival materials in files, paintings on canvas, prints, sculptures, a video projection and a spoken performance. |
Additional Information: | FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE: The curatorial stance was intended to work in dialogue with art-theoretical notions of ‘appropriation’ (associated with art of the 1980s) and ‘postproduction’ (associated with the 2000s and the influential book of that title by critic and curator Nicolas Bourriaud); the exhibition questioned the neat separations between these genres and their associated historical moments, and indicated deeper continuities between, e.g., high modernist photomontage and appropriation in terms of problematics of consumption/production, passivity/creativity, violation/recreation. METHODOLOGY: The selection of the artists followed a period of researching artworks, visiting galleries, sifting through gallery archives, as well as visiting studios and meeting artists. The presentation of the works in the gallery space was intended to be excessive, full of juxtapositions and detail that invited close scrutiny by the viewer. DISSEMINATION: The exhibition was at Stephen Lawrence Gallery, University of Greenwich, London, 26th Jan-26th Feb 2010. There was a public workshop discussion event in the gallery on Saturday 18th February 2010 with contributions from Pil and Galia Kollectiv, Maria Fusco, Shahin Afrassiabi and others. |
