Aporia (Notes to a Medium)

“Aporia (Notes to a Medium)” explores the entanglement of history, mythology, and wishful thinking across various media, particularly in a time of collapsing faith in institutions and rising binarization. The exhibition challenges the certainty of truth’s material and immaterial forms through works that navigate systems of belief and perception. Artists like Elizabeth Zvonar and Mark Lewis deconstruct representations, while Dani Gal’s installation questions the stability of meaning in images and texts. The exhibition also delves into social practices, memory’s materiality, and architectures of transformation. Curated by Melanie O’Brian, “Aporia” engages with doubt as a nuanced strength in contemporary art, inviting critical reflection on constructed realities and their implications for power dynamics. Supported by various organizations, the exhibition is part of the 2024 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program.
