This exhibition presents a think-tank that explores the concept of cultural congestion in visual art practices. As international migration grows in the UK, the movement of people, objects and identities have taken on a political and cultural character of their own, which leaves us with a cultural congestion – Jam. Does this congestion enable pausing and reflection of the richness and diversity across cultures or does it exhaust us?
Exploring the concept of Jam, South Hill Park is delighted to present recent work by Madi Acharya-Baskerville, Ming Turner, Tsai-Wei Chen, I-Ting Hou, Su-Chen Hsu, Emma Kwan, Feng-Ru Lee, Wang Ruobing, Bindu Mehra & Himanshu Desai, Hua Kuan Sai, Meng-Hung (Sam) Su and Pei-Shih Tu. Many of the artworks are previously unseen in the UK.Also, please join us for the performance on 4 April, 3pm, by the Taiwanese artist Feng-Ru Lee that traces back imagery from the memories of her childhood.
The exhibition is curated by Madi Acharya-Baskerville, Yi-Fang Chen and Outi Remes, and supported by the National Culture & Arts Foundation, Taiwan, the National Arts Council Singapore and Panasonic.
