The Silent After

The Silent After privileges the notion of exhibition as a form for public engagement over the curatorial sense of a constructed narrative or an examination of the problematics and politics of a particular theme. This MFA Degree Show has been conceived as a meeting of individual works that underscore the diverse range of practices that constitute, challenge and redefine the field of Art and Craft. This project has also centred, for the very first time, on the question of the dynamics between the Medium and Material Based Art cohort and the newly created Art and Public Space pathway within the Art and Craft Department. Although no specific frame or angle was imposed on the students in the lead-up to this exhibition, a series of recurrent themes and concerns come into view when looking across the work.

The pieces on show are, for the most part, relatively silent. It is an emancipatory silence, however, that in many cases intimates indictments and cries of protest—a lack of protection, the loss of reason, the forced displacement of populations, mute fear. This is not a silent reflection of isolation, reclusion or loneliness, but rather a dérive across ideas relating to survival, madness, loss and, and in a certain way, a sense of not belonging to the group, of excessive individuality. It is an intelligible and audible silence rarely exemplified by abstraction, but rather nourished by references to history, science fiction and explorations of the relations between culture and nature, the production of knowledge, and in particular, the liberating power of literature.
