Utterances
Season IV International Residency Exhibition
November 19 - December 15, 2021
Opening Reception: November 19, 6-8pm
NARS Main Gallery
NARS Foundation is proud to present “Utterances”, a group exhibition presenting the works of the Season IV 2021, artists in residence Niki Afsar, Guillaume Brisson-Darveau, Shuyi Cao, Ahmet Civelek, Barnett Cohen, Rodney Ewing, Bradley Marshall, Tenzin Phuntsog, Hae Won Sohn, Asia Stewart, and Yoshie Sugito.
The plurality of voices and views in this exhibition enables a rich dialogue that explores notions of the body, memory, language, ecology, and history, as spaces for reconstruction, hybridity and liberation, but also for questioning social injustices.
To achieve such dialogues the artists employ diverse manifestations such as performance, poetry, painting, photography, sculpture, video and installation. Their practices converge in the desire to reconsider the interior and exterior landscape —be it metaphorical, physical or social— as a space for the edifying of an identity that is constantly navigating between the social and the intimate.
