Market Forces – Erasure: From Conceptualism To Abstraction

Description
Curated by veteran curator, Charles Merewether, ‘Market Forces: Erasure: From Conceptualism to Abstraction’ sets out to question the increasingly over-determined economic interpretation of the value of art and its consequences, which include the reinforcement of the dominance of certain media, styles and ‘brands’. In the words of curator Charles Merewether, “the subject matter of art becomes more important than its concept or materiality and it becomes reduced to a vehicle for representation rather than a basis for exploring ideas and issues or a way of engaging with the world through the senses”.
