Poor Imagination
Poor Imagination borrows its title from artist and writer Hito Steyerl鈥檚 term: the 鈥榩oor image鈥�. The 鈥榩oor image鈥� is characterized as having an atrocious quality which deteriorates as it is distributed, an image that is readily and easily accessible. It is dormant debris in the landscape of excessive image production. Comprised of ceramics, paintings, photographic prints and new-media works, the exhibition features seven artists whose works 鈥� whether overtly or covertly 鈥� employ the 鈥榩oor image鈥� or embody its characteristics. The exhibition is an allusion to the autonomy and agency that the 鈥榩oor image鈥� offers, and a mediation of the plausible imaginations that they propose.
