Sharjah Art Foundation: Art in the Age of Anxiety
Have you ever wondered how the age we live in today has impacted art? This exhibition that is being showcased at the Sharjah Art Foundation shows us just that. Titled ‘Art in the Age of Anxiety’, this exhibition examines how our devices have altered the way we perceive the world and how being ‘connected’ all the time has impacted our collective consciousness. There are works by over 30 famous contemporary artists such as Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Cory Arcangel, Wafaa Bilal, Cao Fei, Lynn Hershman Leeson, and more.
What is “Art in the Age of Anxiety” all About?
Curated by SAF Director of Collections and Senior Curator Omar Kholeif, Art in the Age of Anxiety brings together a global group of contemporary artists to explore the ways everyday devices, technologies, and digital networks have altered our collective consciousness. The exhibition presents more than 60 works spanning sculpture, prints, video, virtual reality, robotics, and algorithmic programs developed by more than 30 international artists.
Art in the Age of Anxiety conjures the bombardment of information, misinformation, emotion, deception, and secrecy that invades online and offline life in the age of digital technology. It aims to illuminate the “post-digital” condition — the manners and behaviors found in a world altered by the rise of digital technologies — and posits speculations for our future.
The exhibition is free, though booking online in advance is highly recommended and you can take the whole family along. You have until September 26 to check it out!
