Aesthetics of Power, an exhibition juried by artist Mahwish Chishty, looks closely at how aesthetics can be used to express layered, quietly disruptive ideas.
This exhibition features work that surprises, that reveals itself slowly, or that occupies the fragile space where beauty unsettles rather than soothes. Artists in this exhibition reflect on how aesthetic interpretations carry the weight of history, how beauty might obscure or reveal power, and how what is finely wrought can also bear witness.
