Vagabond is a mobile gallery, consisting in a series of shows in which emerging artists are given the exposure they deserve. It also aims to be a way of engaging the local creative community, and to revitalise the arts scene.
About
Vagabond gallery will be displaying a selection of photographic work by 12 artists. The exhibition will take place at 101 Reykjavik Icelandic Kaffibar, between 22nd November and 21st December 2014.
‘INSTANCE’ features work by Kristina Collender, Stella Asia Consonni, Anastasios Gaitanos, Johnny Horgan, Christopher Lanaway, Georgie Mason, Joseph Mayers, Robert Nemtanu, Dainius Sciuka, Russell Squires, Jennifer Welton and Luisa Whitton. It is the first exhibition to be presented within Vagabond.
Vagabond (mobile) gallery is a curatorial platform, led by Oana Damir, and its aim is to showcase artistic work on a regular basis, in various venues across the South of England and internationally.
With “Instance”, the first exhibition launching in November, Vagabond plans to start a contemporary art discourse, an invitation to reflection on social values and issues.
The photographic exhibition is themed on identity, the humanity revealed and the connections between new media and technology, art and artificiality. An indirect dialogue is formed between the artworks, and it correspondingly projects the thematic in subject. The projects share a tendency to tribute new media art and technological advancements, at the same time as evaluating social issues and concerns.
The path of an independent curator allows the freedom to move forward from commercial strains and fully focus on creativity, message and the experience, permitting to showcase these at will, something that perhaps could not be achieved in a conventional institution.
