- Yulia Tikhonova
This exhibition explores, through the works of Vlatka Horvat , Pablo Helguera , and Alon Levin , attitudes and practices that engage social systems, ideological dynamics of individual practices, and collective agency. The artists participate in relationships that reveal State, education, and media discourses as well as specific cultural positions. Cultural infrastructures of importance include Biennales, non-profits, grants, and teaching positions that provide an economic base for their art activities. Their experiences of differing diasporas, define their entry into fields of subjective decision-making and other discerning choices. Individual methodologies are co-constructed by their infrastructure interaction, offering interpretive opportunities for further investigation.
