1301PE is pleased to present, Dreaming, after all, is a form of
planning, a group exhibition of artists Yuk King Tan, Ani O'Neill, Rebecca Baumann, and Jonny Niesche. This exhibition is presented in partnership with
Starkwhite, Auckland. The exhibition continues through August 22.
Spanning aspects of sculpture, performance, installation and painting; Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning brings to Los Angeles four artists from across the Pacific, who together form a multivalent network of formal experimentation; indigenous knowledge systems; as well as performative investigations of political issues, such as value and economy.
"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning." - Gloria Steinem
Art is deeply connected to our experience of the world, and taking in its material is one way in which we recalibrate our sense of it. In this vein, artists are uniquely primed to provide alternative metrics for understanding how we intuit, parse, traverse, share, and value our uniquely human experiences. This is the common thread which weaves together the work of Yuk King Tan, Ani O'Neill, Rebecca Baumann, and Jonny Niesche –an investment in transforming their viewer's perception of the world and its material. Put another way, an interest in how altered, ambiguous, or re-contextualized perception (dreaming, if you will) can facilitate self-discovery, and bring into being new meanings.
