At Franc Gallery in Vancouver, BC
In Over Our Heads
In Over Our Heads was an exhibition curated by Jocelyne Junker with work from emerging artists Lacie Burning, Rydel Cerezo, Jules Cundari, Jack Kenna, Serisa Fitz-James, Kotryna Buruckaitė, and Marika Vandekraats. All brought together through the expressions of the pressures that both hold down and drive them.
Tension forms individualistically, in the shoulders, in the mind. Curious in the expression of tension considered in syllepsis, allowing the joining of the literal and metaphorical, this relation unfolds in visual and conceptual elements of each artist’s work. Examining the presence of tension in the quotidian, whether it be through an overabundance of responsibilities, scarcity of resources, or cultural despondency, we see how personalized tension embodies the forms in which each individual seeks to express it.
