Opacity and Radiance
This exhibition presents work by five artists who contributed to the second issue of Effects, a journal that thinks about aesthetic effects, their histories and contemporary lives. The first issue, published in 2018, looked at the capacity of the visual arts to conceal materials, surfaces and structures. This second issue thinks broadly about how light effects ground the ways that we imagine truth. It includes new works of art, poetry and criticism that address the aesthetics and politics of light and dark, visibility and invisibility, reflection and absorption, glimmer and glow, kitsch and camouflage. The works in the exhibition continue that thinking in various ways.
