Art Exhibitions

Flower

16 November 2024

Participating: AM? BELL, ANASTASIA PATHER, AYOBOLA KEKERE-EKUN, BRETT RUBIN, BEEZI FLYBYNT, FREDERICK CLARKE, GIVAN L?TZ, IO MAKANDAL + SAMANTHA MCCULLOCH, JEAN-CLAUDE NSABIMANA, LAUREN OPIA, LOUIS MINNAAR, MAXINE MAISTRY, MJ TURPIN, MOLLY ROBERTS, NATHAN GATES, NINA TORR, NWABISA NTLONKWANA, ROXY KACZMAREK, SHENAZ MAHOMED, TATENDA CHIDORA

The exhibition invite did not offer a conventional brief to guide artists in the making of their work, but instead NO END created a physical prompt for artists to respond to. Artists collected the prompt without prior knowledge of the form of the prompt or exhibition theme. The prompt revolved around the theme 'flower', which also informs the title of the exhibition. (The upcoming image provides a glimpse of the prompt).
 

The exhibition sets out to evaluate to what extent the curatorial brief can truly 'direct' an artist's work, considering if the 'curatorial' has become so  broadly obtuse, that any work can be submitted to theme. All artists were thus required to produce new work towards the exhibition, specifically created in response to the received prompt.
