The eight artists included in this exhibition—Douglas Gordon, Rodney Graham, William Kentridge, Leone & Macdonald, Nic Nicosia, Sam Taylor-Wood, Rosemarie Trockel, and Gillian Wearing—work from experiences of common, everyday life, igniting it with meaning and insight. They create allegories that critique the contemporary world or celebrate some of its most bizarre aspects. The catalogue includes essays by Dana Friis Hansen, Lynn M. Herbert and Alexandra Irvine; and selected documentation on the artists’ careers.
