Times Are Changing, And I Am Changing With You.

 

"I looked up at the mass of signs and stars in the night sky and laid myself open for the first time to the benign indifference of the world." Albert Camus 

 

Our primal reaction to change often manifests as fear. The feeling perhaps derives from a misleading self-perception that we are not a part of this natural process.

 

“Times Are Changing, And I Am Changing With You” comes together from selected pieces of eightartists who aim to reflect the concept of change and adaptation through their materials and preferred canvases. 

 

Inspired by Albert Camus's existential masterpiece ‘The Stranger’, Kristina Aliberti, Emilie Coste, Fiona von Furstenberg, Beatrice Galletley, Jack Joiner, Halise Karakaya, Rory Rae and Tutu Tugce Sonmez illustrate the evolving landscapes of human experience and the indifferent nature of the world through sculpture, photography and paintings. 

 

“Times Are Changing, And I Am Changing With You” explores how inevitable change illuminates an artist’s path and resonates with the viewer’s personal journey. These artists from diverse backgrounds bring forth works that reflect the constant flux in our lives, echoing the novel’s themes of existentialism, isolation, and search for meaning. The artworks challenge perceptions, inviting viewers to confront the familiar and the unknown.

 

The show is curated by Tutu Tugce Sonmez and Emilie Coste, with the exhibition design overseen by Selcuk Sepici, and visual designs managed by Elif Gengor. It will be held from the 8th – 22nd December in the historic industrial and trade centre of London’s Borough Market. This location provides a fitting backdrop for this exhibition as it is situated at the heart of a city that has seen the industrial changes over time. Some of these artists you will have the opportunity to meet at the show have set their studios in disaffected buildings of this everchanging industrial neighbourhood.
