Agitate/d responds to the frustrations and the inability to communicate the manifestations of change occurring.
Agitate/d responds to the frustrations and the inability to communicate the manifestations of change occurring.
Responding to the shifting world order and accruing frustrations in our daily lives, Agitate/d presents artworks that communicate across suppression and censorship, or articulate the incomprehensible. Drawing on the Suprematists’ and Constructivists’ drive for a universal system of language that was inclusive, the exhibition showcases works that utilise laconic and subversive visual strategies of communicating.
Through the graphic, geometric, colour, typographic, and semaphore, the artists show us that they are agitated, communicating what is causing their agitation or creating newly responsive agitprop. Agitation is action.
