AT THE EDGE OF LOGIC
Abigail Reynolds, Ania Dabrowska, Benjamin Beker Hannah Dakin, Peter Ainsworth, Rita Soromenho, Tess Hurrell
‘Everything we see could be otherwise’
Tractatus, Wittgenstein
O mundo, incluindo os actuais paradigmas da arte, está instável. Quando o mundo está instável, as pessoas perdem a confiança nos sistemas de conhecimento e poder, ou em casos extremos, transformam-se em seus cegos seguidores. Isso pode parecer perigoso, excitante, positivo ou assustador - dependendo da percepção. Durante séculos essa condição tem proporcionado um espaço para a introspecção artística sobre o que é ser humano. At the Edge of Logic não procura dar explicações ou respostas definitivas. Os sete artistas internacionais reunidos nesta mostra lidam com a lógica paradoxal do seu mundo, através do processo de questionamento das estruturas formais, estéticas e narrativas do trabalho e definindo a ideia da natureza arbitrária da percepção. Usam a fotografia para explorar e comunicar as suas ideias e processos, produzindo imagens que exigem ao espectador uma análise mais profunda das intenções do artista e o abrandamento do seu modo de olhar. A fotografia é, na sua essência, uma construção visual, uma forma conceitual, abstracta de interpretação. Enquanto a luz a situa no real, a fotografia nunca foi uma transcrição exacta do mundo, mas um "estranho espaço confinado" *. Embora no seu inicio se acreditasse que a fotografia copiava o mundo em toda a sua exactidão e detalhe, como se a natureza se desenhasse a ela própria, o processo fotográfico torna o mundo bidimensional e imóvel. Devido à sua tradicional ligação ao "real" - a ideia de que uma fotografia é uma referência, um registo directo do que aconteceu, sempre houve uma tendência para explicar, identificar o que é retratado numa fotografia. Os artistas aqui apresentados, cada um de uma maneira diferente, desafiam os parâmetros da fotografia e transgridem as suas funções historicamente estabelecidas, a fim de exteriorizar o interno, de escapar ou encontrar outras esferas de representação. Transformam o seu trabalho num acto de emancipação das formas dominantes da lógica, pegam em segmentos visuais do nosso meio cultural, reconfiguram-nos. Afinal, a percepção é uma acção de tomada de posse e de apreensão do mundo com a mente e os sentidos. O que se apreende é resultado de interacções entre experiências passadas e as nossas interpretações do que vemos. Como vão os seres humanos escapar ao determinismo cíclico do seu próprio conhecimento? Estes processos de reconfiguração do mundo poderiam ser visto como fetichismo ou manipulação? Isso revela nostalgia artística para a materialidade, ou, pelo contrário, poderia ser visto como uma forma de crítica à superficialidade, o efémero, ou talvez até um desejo de encontrar novas interpretações do mundo, que cada um sente ser esmagadoramente pré-descrito? *Mary Price, “The Photograph: A Strange, Confined Space” (1994)

‘Everything we see could be otherwise’
Tractatus, Wittgenstein
The world, including the current frameworks of art, is unsettled. When the world is unsettled, people lose confidence in the systems of knowledge and power, or in the extreme, they can turn into their blind followers. This can seem dangerous, exciting, positive or scary - depending on one’s perception. Throughout centuries this condition has provided an arena for artistic introspection on what it is to be human. At the Edge of Logic does not look for explanations or gives final answers. The seven international artists brought together in this exhibition deal with the paradoxical logic of their worlds by making the process of questioning manifest in the formal, aesthetic, and narrative structures of the work, and by championing the idea of the arbitrary nature of perception. They use photography to explore, communicate, and process their ideas producing images that require the viewer to slow down the process of looking and to analyze in more depth the intentions of the artist. In essence, a photograph is a visual construction, always a conceptual, abstract form of interpretation. Whilst light grounds photography in the real, the photograph was never an exact transcript of the world, but a “strange, confined space”*. Although early photography was believed to copy the world in all its completeness and detail, as if nature was drawing itself, the photographic process renders the world two-dimensional and still. Because of its traditional connection to “the real”- the idea that a photograph is a referent, a direct record of what has been, there’s always been a tendency to explain, to identify what is depicted in a photograph. The artists exhibiting in this show, each in a different way, challenge the parameters of photography. They transgress its historically established functions in order to externalise the internal, to escape or to find other realms of representation. They turn their escapism into an act of emancipation from dominant forms of logic, taking visual segments of our cultural surroundings and reconfiguring them. After all, perception is an action of taking possession and apprehension of the world with the mind or senses. What one perceives it’s a result of interplays between past experiences and our interpretations of what we see. How are humans to escape the cyclical determinism of their own knowledge? These processes of reconfiguring the world could be seen as akin to the fetishism of manipulation. Does this reveal artistic nostalgia for materiality, or on the contrary, could it be seen as a form of critique of the superficial, the fleeing, or maybe even a desire to find new interpretations of the world, which one feels to be overwhelmingly pre-described? *Mary Price, “The Photograph: A Strange, Confined Space” (1994)
