Curated by Morgan Quaintance and Amanprit Sandhu of DAM Projects, Present State Examination is an exploration of the socio-cultural, interpersonal, existential or political conditions surrounding the perception and treatment of psychological, physical and neurological ‘illnesses’.
About
LOUISA MARTIN, BELLA MILROY, JESSICA SCOTT
ONLINE
A web-based group exhibition featuring newly commissioned artworks, images and text, the contributors share a belief in the benefits of progressive and alternative forms of care, questioning standard notions of illness, consciousness or disability.
The three new commissions include:
– Louisa Martin’s ‘SOLA’; the first of a new body of work reimagining the autistic labelled body and laying out a liberatory framework for self-seeing, outside the pathology paradigm;
– Bella Milroy’s ‘Breakfast’; focusing on experiences of illness and care within the domestic setting, through the stanzas of a poem written by her maternal grandmother;
– Jessica Scott’s ‘Everything I Touch Turns To Dust’; a zine examining what it is like to live with schizoaffective disorder.
Opening and closing essays by Morgan Quaintance (of DAM Projects) explore issues of neurodiversity and the standardisation of diagnosis and treatment.
We invite you to share your thoughts on the work and its themes via #presentstateexamination @turf_projects & @turfprojects
