Interchange Junctions
The artists in the exhibition have been invited to create a dialogue with Yinka Shonibare’s Wind Sculpture, with the multicultural aspect of the exhibition paying homage to the enlightened actions carried out in the name of Howick.
I adore the idea of arts in relationship to each other: it blurs a line between criticism and art, which is a line I like to ignore. Art itself works in response to other art (the danger is that it might abandon any relation to 'the real' (which is a disputed notion - how 'real' is mundane life, how 'theatrical' are those things seen as not art, like politics or chatting someone up in a bar (Goffman's works on identity as performance offer an analysis of human identity via performance theory while 'the broad spectrum' approach to performance allows the dramaturgical analysis of anything (letting the critic define the text as 'the object worthy of investigation))).
Through a range of media from film, animation, sculpture, collage, photography, drawing, painting and performance, the artists seek to explore cultural frameworks and issues of identity and how we negotiate these through the historical legacy of our collective past and our ever evolving multi-cultural global world.
Interchange Junctions offers the opportunity to experience a number of new works and site specific commissions as well as works that have not been shown in London before.
Ideas of mobility, memory and transmission, migration, trade and colonial struggle are explored along with notions of social awareness and engagement.
Misinterpretation and misplacement of accepted norms from one culture to another are part of a discourse on friction between cultures, identity and cultural belonging. Notions of power, success and failure run through the exhibition challenging long held assumptions.
