This exhibition explores artistic strategies such as critical representation, irony, ambiguity and détournement as forms of social critique.
Editors' Comment
The exhibition features the work of seven contemporary artists who participate in social critique without surrendering entirely to didacticism. Rather than attempting to instruct through clarification, these artists favour ambiguous or symbolic images that leave room for varying interpretations.
