Overview
Curated by Gerasimos Floratos: Ida Applebroog, Emheyo Bahabba, Judith Bernstein, Rafael Delacruz, Ida Ekblad, Sophie von Hellermann, Evan Holloway,Lee Lozano, Tala Madani, Quintessa Matranga, Trevor Shimizu, Spencer Sweeney, Billy White, Amelie von Wulffen
Adult Swim conjures an image of movement in a communal body of water, a metaphor for non-linear navigation of collective consciousness and the shared realms in which we work, play, and live. The metaphor suggests a style of thinking or approach which we might employ to reveal a multitude of behaviours, ideas and moods; existential vignettes that rise from and float around the surface of the psyche.
The exhibition brings together works by 14 artists who often communicate these ‘navigations’ with a playful or humourous delivery. Though various in medium, the works are connected by a seemingly rudimentary application of material, cartoonish in many cases, channeling transhistorical tropes of Pop Art, Abstract Expressionist posturing, surreal juxtapositions, Modernist regard for material, with a Postmodern nonchalance for mixing these references.
