disCONNECT - A 'Locked-Down' Artist Takeover

24 July - 24 August 2020

HKwalls is pleased to be collaborating with Schoeni Projects‘ on their inaugural exhibition at Schoeni Projects LDN, a Victorian townhouse in South West London. Titled disCONNECT, the exhibition transforms the period building with new site-specific works from ten urban artists working across seven countries.

Opening during the COVID-19 pandemic, the exhibition is adapted to not only adhere to lock-down restrictions, but also to reflect on the creative and physical constraints of the current global crisis, exploring psychological and political reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the role of technology as conduit between the two. Accessible to online audiences through virtual realty, each work is further activated through an accompanying programme of digital initiatives, including downloadable art works, online videos, virtual tours and an Instagram Live interview series. The exhibition also encourages the public to submit their own art works for potential inclusion.

HKwalls 很高興與 Schoeni Projects 合作,在倫敦西南部的一個維多利亞聯排別墅 Schoeni Projects LDN 舉辦首次展覽。 展覽名為“disCONNECT”,通過來自七個國家的十位藝術家的場域特定藝術作品來改變維多利亞時代的建築。

展覽在 COVID-19 大流行期間開放,不僅是為了遵守封城限制,也是為了反思在面對當前的全球危機時,創意和物質上的束縛,探索對 COVID-19 大流行時的心理和政治反應,以及科技作為兩者之間的連接的作用。 每件作品都可以透過虛擬實境向線上觀眾開放,並透過附帶的數位節目進一步激活,包括可下載的藝術作品、線上影片、虛擬導覽和 Instagram Live 採訪系列。 展覽還鼓勵公眾提交自己的藝術作品來提供潛在的可能性。

Adam Neate (UK); Aida Wilde (Iran); Alex Fakso (Italy); Mr.Cenz (UK); David Bray (UK) Herakut (Germany); Icy and Sot (Iran); Isaac Cordal (Spain); VHILS (Portugal); ZOER (Italy).
