SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO BREAK TO BECOME WHOLE
VIS.AGE Scott Jeffries
What is the purpose of an art exhibition?
“As a curator who works primarily on solo exhibitions
with emerging artists, I see the purpose of the exhibition
as a pivotal moment, an opportunity for an artist to understand the progression of their practice, to connect with community. It allows for public critique, celebration, and connection. I think artists often push towards that
solo exhibition moment, knowing the moment it marks throughout their careers, and that push is necessary. But from my perspective, the work that follows their solo exhibition is often more interesting. It is after this release, presentation, and movement from studio practice into public space in a high stakes context that artists are able to grow.
