The artworks in Foolish Fire circumvent reason and logic to present us with images that challenge the nature of perception allowing us to see beyond the surface of the object. Painter Christopher Page transforms architectural spaces into uncanny mise-en-scènes that disrupt the viewer’s sense of reality. Pauline Shaw applies her cultural and ancestral history to create detailed felt tapestries. In the ceramic works of Jennifer Rochlin and Kazuhito Kawai, personal histories and memory are the catalyst. The intriguing canvases of Antonia Rodrian depict objects freed from their context to convey absurd narratives, while Yoo Geun-Taek uses repetitive elements to create meditative scenes of visceral textures on hanji paper. Stefan Rinck, Alyina Zaidi and Raqib Shaw use mythology and mysticism to create meticulous paintings and sculptures that redefine divinity.

The exhibition will run until June 15th, 2023.

Artists: Yoo Geun-Taek, Kazuhito Kawai, Christopher Page, Stefan Rinck, Jennifer Rochlin, Antonia Rodrian, Pauline Shaw, Raqib Shaw, Alyina Zaidi
