at The Moore Space From Apr 14th – Jun 30th, 2007The Moore Space and Locust Projects present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. Conditions of Display includes the following artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James & Roe Ethridge, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, Remy Zaugg and Kevin Zucker. In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. For more information, please call: 305.438.1163
