The Silence of Ordinary Things
Selling Exhibition | March 28-May 9, 2015
This is a past exhibition.
This selling exhibition, benefiting TMR’s programs, features works that explore the revealing yet subtle qualities of the ordinary and the everyday. The show is inspired by the work of Isaac Julien, TMR’s 2015 Gala Artist Honoree.
About the Exhibition.
Conceived as a visual essay woven from a multiplicity of stories, The Silence of Ordinary Things is a group exhibition broadly inspired by the work of Isaac Julien. The show unfolds as a series of focused snapshots composed through works that explore the dichotomy between the world of man and the natural environment; the presence and echoes of history in the now; the inherent nature of the political in the poetic; the representation of beauty and the body in the image; the impacts of the circulation of labor and capital in the digital age; and the revealing yet subtle qualities of the ordinary and the everyday. In a choreography of voices and positions, of affinities and frictions, The Silence of Ordinary Things presents a timely reflection on the poignant contradictions that define our current moment.
