CALL | XPACE | OUGHT | AUG 31
------------------------------
OUGHT compiles the variety of suggestions posed by parents to
their artist children in misguided attempts to support,
encourage, or simply understand. OUGHT exhibits the
materialization of these often ridiculous ideas, as artists actually
attempt to create or fulfill what was suggested of them. The
show will illustrate examples of non art-world or art-educated
ideas of the function and aesthetic of art, while simultaneously
illuminating the underlying encouragements and
discouragements that exist at the foundation of every artist.
Artists are asked to work with their parent‘s suggestions exactly,
and not to use the theme to further interpret encouragement
and its role in artistic individuation. In order for the theme to
accurately illustrate the importance of the element of
encouragement, artists must find the balance between their
intended work and their parent‘s ideas of what their work should
be. The parent‘s suggestion must be exactly created (within
reason) but the means with which it appears in the show may be
properly altered to better suit the work of the artist.
OUGHT will be exhibited at Xpace in Toronto from November
21st to December 13, 2014.
