‘Continue without Accepting’ is a solo show by pioneering British artist Tim Etchells.
About
Showcasing a new body of neon works which bring to mind feelings of uncertainty and instability through a series of short texts, this exhibition presents neons all created in 2023, these new works will be exhibited for the first time together in this installation.
In this new body of work Etchells combines short neon texts which evoke ambiguous uncertainties. ‘everything up in the air’ and ‘continue without accepting’ are both suggestive of an uneasy feeling; an unknown and unstable situation, and a stubborn persistence in light of acceptance. Further to this, a perplexing narrative scenario is present alongside the works in ‘most of them are ghosts, the rest are premonitions’. The eerie sentence similarly creates unease and tension whilst engaging with the paranormal idea of ghosts being a common occurrence.
