Transmissions
press release
TRANSMISSIONS: July 9th-August 8th 2021
Underdonk presents Transmissions, a group exhibition that explores the intergenerational dialogues that occur between teachers and students, mentors, colleagues, spaces, institutions, networks, and schools of making. The exhibition creates a visible network of artistic transmissions between members of the Underdonk collective and artists that have influenced them, while at the same time presenting an alternative map of influence.
How can a collective such as Underdonk, that normally presents works from across the generational spectrum, disrupt our usual notions of linear transmission and lineage from more to less powerful? Exhibitions such as these propose that a continuum of influence exists, and that lateral networks of dialogue are possible: small spaces can also influence large institutions, the artistic activities of one generation responds to those of another generation, and that the gesture of creating communities reorients artistic practices and values in unexpected ways.
