How do artists create work during periods of isolation? Whatever the cause is, they use the situation, whether out of necessity, as an exit strategy, an indictment, or as a testimony.
About
Splendid Isolation looks at how artists create (or created) work during periods of isolation. Self-imposed isolation can be an advantage or even a necessary condition for the practice of certain artists, but for many it is a condition determined by geographical, political or biological factors. Whatever the cause of their seclusion, numerous artists use the situation to make work, whether out of necessity, as an exit strategy, an indictment, or as a testimony. Splendid Isolation brings together a range of stories and ensembles by international artists who either work, or have worked, in isolation.
With art works by Asim Abu Shakra Salam Atta Sabri, Danny Bergeman, Forrest Bess, Irma Blank, Louise Bourgeois, Zehra Dogan, Dom Sylvester Houédard, Frank Walter and Hervé Yamguen.
