Dizziness of Freedom
Anxiety Festival, Bermondsey Project
26th June – 13th July 2014
Dizziness of freedom is a group exhibition exploring the notion of choice in a contemporary society defined by consumerism, an excess of information and endless possibilities
Bringing philosopher Søren Kierkegaard’s Concept of anxiety to present times, the artists approach choice as an act of freedom as well as an ever-present strain.
Through installation, sculpture, film, performance, painting and photography, the works hint at moments of decision-making – both in artistic processes and daily life – often infused with feelings of aspiration, self-consciousness and playfulness.
Artists include Stefania Batoeva, David Bradley, Josephine Callaghan, Tom Duggan, Louise Fitzgerald, Jane Fradgley, George Harding, Tom Jayston, Nnena Kalu, Nu Li, Andrzej Lyszkowicz, MoreUtopia!, Sue Morgan, Mary Ogunleye, Tess Springall, Liam Tickner, Charlie Godet Thomas.
