Description
Online talk with artist Michal Iwanowski in collaboration with the University of the Arts Tokyo (GAP, Geidai)ARTinTRA proudly presents ‘Complex States’, an international exhibition that comes as a timely and urgent response to both the divisive events of ‘Brexit and the ‘Covid-19’ pandemic. With more than 30 international artists, 13 venues and a cutting edge augmented reality platform, the exhibition will launch on the 28th of October 2020 and last until the 31st of December 2020 when the Brexit process draws to a close. As an exhibition that traverses nations, as well as the physical and virtual, Complex States offers a platform for renewed trans-national dialogue, collaboration and cultural exchange.
Brexit has stirred, divided and disturbed Britons, British residents, their fellow Europeans, and the wider international community. Complex States presents a more holistic portrait of Brexit and takes place in venues internationally in order to heal divides, develop international dialogue and help repair relationships damaged in the wake of the UK’s controversial departure from the EU. Curated by Vassiliki Tzanakou (Director of ARTinTRA) and Catherine Harrington, Complex States platforms critical engagements with Brexit by artists including Jeremy Deller, Jason Decaires-Taylor, Richard Littler, Stephane Graff, Michal Iwanowski, and Rita Duffy. The exhibition brings together a wide selection of media, from paintings and sculpture to videos and installations with the aim of shedding light on the ways artists have responded to Brexit, and the urgent topics of identity, migration, globalisation, social media, and ‘fake news’ that Brexit has provoked.
