The group exhibition titled “Unsettled,” bringing together artists from internationally renowned galleries and prominent figures in contemporary art, is on display at Vision Art Platform.
Vision Art Platform presents a strong selection from the international contemporary art scene with its new group exhibition “Unsettled.” Bringing together contemporary artistic approaches from artists across different geographies and disciplines, the exhibition promises a multi-layered experience for the viewer.
“Unsettled” brings together artists represented by internationally respected galleries such as Hauser & Wirth, Gladstone Gallery, David Zwirner, and Ivorypress, as well as prominent figures in the field with significant output.
The exhibition includes: Rodney Graham (Hauser & Wirth, Zurich), Gary Simmons (Hauser & Wirth, Los Angeles), Carrie Mae Weems (Gladstone Gallery, New York; Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco; Galerie Barbara Thumm, Berlin), David Maisel (Ivorypress, Madrid), Stan Douglas (David Zwirner, New York), along with Judith Barry (USA), Debra Dawes (Australia), Merilyn Fairskye (Australia), and Mairéad McClean (Ireland) are featured.
Our time has moved away from being a period that deepens debate and soothes division; it has become an uncertain and unpredictable era that erodes knowledge domains, institutional structures, and social consensus, while also severely undermining environmental and political stability. Different forms of denial and conflict actively weaken many of the foundations of contemporary life. The artists offer perhaps a unique framework for rethinking the fragile state of the world. One of the key elements of this exhibition is the way artists produce powerful aesthetic forms that respond to these real tensions inherent in contemporary experience.
Unsettled is conceived as an exhibition bringing together leading contemporary artists who reflect on current social, cultural, and psychological tensions experienced by communities and individuals worldwide. Key themes addressed include climate change, nuclear proliferation, post-colonialism, conflict, migration, racism, gender, and religion. These issues are explored through various media including photography, painting, sculpture, and video.
Nine established artists from Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the United States represent a powerful cross-section of 21st-century Western modernism. This highly controversial and unsettling frame of reference positions art as a form of inquiry, a space for interaction, and even a method of critical questioning of the conditions and forces operating on, beneath, and above the surface of life.
This approach offers a possibility for a new aesthetic encounter with the real world.
