BAROQUE, 2023
group exhibition
Champ La Combe (Biarritz, FR)
Curated by Taylor Trabulus & Lucy Chadwick

Classically defined by flamboyant spectacle and chaotic form, the Baroque could be considered as the most apt of terms to describe our contemporary state, where our perception is increasingly mediated by accelerated mass consumerism, undulating technological advancement and globalisation.

This exhibition features painting, video, sculpture, performance, screenings, and installation that expand and collapse the excess and grandiosity of the traditional notions of the baroque, while also exploring its potential for subversion and critique. The works on view both challenge and reinforce the illusions of our digital age, looking at the truly Baroqu-ian boundaries between reality and fantasy.
