Studies for an Exhibition.

About

Mathieu Copeland is the fourth guest curator in the Curators' Series invited by The David Roberts Art Foundation. Copeland's group exhibition, Studies for an Exhibition, looks at how contemporary artists negotiate the relationship between works and spectators, and between works and the context in which they are exhibited and performed. By collaborating with offsite venues that are public as well as educational spaces for cultural promotion, Copeland will produce an environment that will question the idea of what an exhibition can be and how peripheral structures and strategies can affect and inform the center both in terms of space (The David Roberts Art Foundation) as well as common cultural thought. The exhibition brings together practices that explore the possibility of immateriality of an art object, institutional as well as everyday contexts of its making, exhibiting/performing and consuming. The works in the exhibition range from sculpture, installation and performance to film screenings, and include new pieces especially commissioned for the exhibition.
