Vibha Galhotra, NEO CAMOUFLAGE, 2009, Digital Print on vinyl and fabric and mannequins

Aicon Gallery presents a group exhibition ‘Space Invader‘ featuring works by Vibha Galhotra, Mayyur Gupta, Dan Holdsworth, Caroline McCarthy, Alan Michael, Muzzumil Ruheel and Sanatan Saha.

The exhibition explores the way the spaces that surround us become crowded, polluted, confused, filled and warped. This might be through anything from pollution to electronic overload, from the construction of buildings and cities through to crowds bearing down on the individual. It explores how multiple phenomena overlap onto our personal space, disrupting any sense of splendid isolation and points to a life lived in a world of a multiplicity of languages, tweets, discourses, arguments and assertions bearing down on the individual. This exhibition is not necessarily a celebration of a globalizedl space of cultural or economic production – but rather an attempt to pause the torrents for a moment and reflect on what is being lost as much as what is being gained.
