KINESIS at NEON Gallery, London
NEON Gallery are débuting their London exhibition titled 'KINESIS' on 24 September 2020. The 7-day exhibition is a curation of selected works by established and emerging contemporary artists who share a desire to change perceptions of artistic expression and mediums while also delivering potent critiques of the status quo through their works.
In creating the show, the duo at the helm of NEON, Dr. Dimitrios Tsivrikos and Christopher Shake, drew inspiration from the dynamic between motion and stimulus inherent in the very idea of kinesis. The show sets out to explore the concept of “a movement” – literal, figurative and metaphorical – as reflected in artworks that variously engage socially poignant concepts.
The exhibition also has an aspirational outlook outlined by the dynamic of kinesis. As NEON Director, Christopher Shake, articulates, "This exhibition is also about hope and fortitude. It reflects our hope that collectively, we can embrace the core principle of 'KINESIS', the idea of a movement, for us a forward-seeking movement, in response to external and internal influences, by drawing upon these uncertain times as a catalyst to launch innovative ways of experiencing and interacting with the arts and our community as a whole."
