Thematic Preface: The Power of Emerging Artists in Shaping the Now and the Beyond
“MORE THAN NOW” is unlike any other exhibition at Moosey’s Hoxton gallery. Curated by the talented Lisa Boudet, this extraordinary showcase of 25 emerging international artists sets out to explore the profound impact these artists have on shaping the present moment and forging the path to our collective future. Through their compelling works, these artists invite us to reflect on our history, question the complexities of our contemporary world, and reimagine the possibilities that lie ahead.
In a world inundated with cacophony and fleeting attention spans, it is crucial to pause and consider the transformative power of art. Throughout history, artists have acted as cultural commentators and visionaries, using their works to challenge societal norms, ignite conversations, and expose universal truths. “MORE THAN NOW” pays homage to this rich artistic tradition by highlighting the multifaceted perspectives of emerging artists who are boldly pushing boundaries and redefining artistic practices.
Art has always been a vehicle for social change, and this exhibition demonstrates how today’s emerging artists carry the torch in this timeless pursuit. From the vivid brushstrokes that evoke the resilience of post-war artists to the immersive installations that challenge our perceptions of reality, “MORE THAN NOW” offers a vibrant tapestry of artistic expression that resonates with our collective experiences.
As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, it becomes increasingly evident that the contributions of emerging artists are indispensable. They hold up a mirror to society, capturing the essence of cultural shifts, technological advancements, and political unrest. Their ability to perceive and interpret the world through their unique lens offers us fresh perspectives that enable us to make sense of our rapidly changing reality.
This exhibition restores our faith in the power of art to create meaningful connections and spur dialogue that extends beyond the gallery walls. By showcasing the diverse voices of these international artists, we are reminded of the global nature of key issues facing our world today. From climate change to social inequality, “MORE THAN NOW” ignites conversations that transcend borders, reminding us of our shared responsibility to build a more inclusive and sustainable future.
In a world defined by uncertainty and constant flux, art provides us with a compass to navigate the complexities and contradictions of our time. By immersing ourselves in the creations of emerging artists, we are invited to challenge preconceived notions, question the status quo, and imagine alternative futures. Let us embrace “MORE THAN NOW” as a catalyst for change, rekindling our curiosity and inspiring us to actively shape the world we want to see.
