MORE ENLIGHTENMENT gathers five Vancouver artists — together their work builds a set of possibilities for thinking about the imminent. Through Proposition, Diagram, Contradiction, Reason and Action, this exhibition hopes to catalyse a conversation about how we can give form to our disenchantment.
“In the most general sense of progressive thought, the Enlightenment has always aimed at liberating men from fear and establishing their sovereignity. Yet the fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant.”
—Dialectic of Enlightenment, Horkheimer & Adorno
