Apocalyptic Changes of State

About

BWG Gallery presents Apocalyptic Changes of State, a two-floored, multi-environment exhibition featuring sculptures, paintings and drawings by an outstanding international line-up of 21 artists. The show invites spectators to undertake rites of passage needed to reveal, reflect upon and adapt to the present epoch of ever-accelerating apocalyptic flux; which affects all human and non-human beings.

We are on the precipice of the current Anthropocene, a quagmire of social and economic polarity, potentially an era of devastation, or a turning point in human revelation and enlightenment. Global media perpetuates divisive fear and discourse, failing to pay heed to the inner and outer apocalypses (revelations) ignited in response to the culmination of millennia of humanity’s cognitive and practical evolution. As we experience revolutions in faith, folklore, paganism and spirituality, sobering changes to the environment and natural order, globalisation bringing new understanding of culture, heritage, identity, connectivity and community, alongside increasing advancements in industry, technology and science, we are being driven to undergo a defining naturalcultural awakening.

Apocalyptic Changes of State displays both contemporary art’s potential to act, in dialogue, as a primary conduit through which trans-binary ways of perceiving and thinking about the past, present and future can flow; and how an artist’s unique vision has the capacity to illuminate realities beyond the darkening veil of modernity.
