last chance: through October 2nd 2011
Each artist in the show demonstrates a willingness to demote or jeopardise artistic authority in favour of an acknowledgement of paintings’ shortcomings - as a paradoxical means to its re-invigoration. The subject of these works often manifests as a cross-examination of real-life circumstance, demonstrating an instinctive need to question the validity of the criteria by which it is judged. The exhibition itself performs an active function that seeks ‘…to recreate the emptiness where the pure event of form can take place.’ (Baudrillard)
