[ Text from ‘Exhibition Notes’ for Flow, from Modern Art Oxford ]
Modern Art Oxford and Oxford Brookes University are proud to present the online project, Flow, the first collaborative exhibition of artists co-curated by Modern Art Oxford volunteers. The exhibited works are selected from a county-wide call out for images, sounds, text and objects that reflect individual experiences of being in creative ‘flow’.
Celebrating a range of practices across Oxfordshire, the exhibition asks us to question where our ideas come from, and how we may cultivate new ideas. The exhibition features a diverse array of creative works, from poetry and dance, to beam particle simulations and abstract architectural plans. Flow demonstrates that our own creative process is distinctive to us all and highlights the need for creativity in a particularly turbulent, uncertain time.
The group exhibition features work by: Mariana Acevedo, Sue Chamberlin, Maisy Charlett, Mark Clay, Claudia Collett, Angela Edward, Jake Flowerdew, David Gasca, Charlotte Grocutt, Kate Hipkiss, Claire Leech, Mirren Kessling, Julia Mallaby, Simon Mandarino, Kashmira Patel, Hamideh Rimaz, Saskia Saunders, Ella Shepard.
Flow is co-curated by: Russell Antcliff, Jack Carrera, Elvira Faizova, Natalia Murashova, Laila Pipara, Deborah Pill, Maria Robertson, Jeremy Servian, Lillian Tranborg, with Creative Associate, Laura Purseglove.
