JABBERWOCKY: and other nonsense in the here and now
13-18 March 2018
Private View: Thursday 15 March 6-9pm
Cristina Cantilena, Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
‘This exhibition is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s ‘Jabberwocky’, one of the greatest examples of nonsense literature. The poem’s impressive use of fictitious words and abstract imagery masterfully illustrates a scene of childhood fantasy, in which the monster lurking dangerously in the shadows is finally eliminated. While the narrative itself remains mysterious, the action of overcoming a great evil is undeniable. It is Carroll’s creative reframing of threat and danger through his bewilderingly-named creatures that has elevated the poem to such acclaim.
The show includes a myriad of contemporary messages about playing with fantasy in order to comprehend reality and to defeat menace. This encompasses two-dimensional and three-dimensional artworks (painting, photography, print, mixed media, installation), as well as video/film and performance, all of which may be political, personal or as nonsensical as the poem itself. With the poem as a focus, artists convey impressions of today’s Jabberwocky narrative both figuratively and in abstract forms, drawing from playful and serious perspectives.’
