Three teams of curators, three provocations and one space
one night stands is a series of three one night events curated by three different MA student groups who have taken turns to deliver a provocation to one another and respond to a given stimulus.
The final of the three events is hosted by curators from the University of Essex.
SHOW OFF? is the product of the provocation 'OFF' received from the Sheffield Hallam curators. We have explored the often ambiguous boundaries of the artistic practices between ‘self expression’ and ‘show off’.
While the works exhibited reveal information or feelings very particular to the artists’ private and day-to-day lives, the emotions and confessions are subtly exposed with a 'documentary feel'. Within this, the qualities of autobiography and artifice are questioned. Interestingly, the chosen artists in this exhibition contradict and play with the conventional perception of a ‘show off’, as the introvert artworks publicly disclose their private identities.
Featuring works by four upcoming international artists:
Natasha Caruana, Lin Jun-Liang, Yaron Lapid and Kianoosh Motallebi
