Gallery 31: The Voices of A Tempest

Incompressible exhibition at Somerset House of three videos and an installation.

I’m afraid the handout was so convoluted, that despite reading it a number of times, I’m still not sure what the point of the show was and therefore didn’t feel invested enough to watch the videos. I’m afraid when a phrase in the handout ‘fictional activism’ has to have an asterisked note below I lose the will to live.

The show was curated by ‘exploratory producing platform’ A—-Z in response to an interpretation of The Tempest as a critique of colonialism but I had no idea what that had to do with the art.

Now if the installation shown here has been a comment on the World Cup I’d have understood but evidently it was a ‘violent investigation into the art world’.

Closes 19 March 2023
