So Excited
Steve Turner is pleased to present So Excited, a group exhibition curated by Brittany Tucker that considers art-making as a form of hacking. It features two and three-dimensional works by four American artists鈥Bianca Fields, Auriea Harvey, Charlie Mai and Brittany Tucker. A hacker is primarily thought to be someone who gains access to a computer system illegally in order to disrupt, destroy or steal. However, there is a lesser known definition of a hacker鈥搒omeone who is immersed in the programming subculture and who spends their time to creatively solve technical computing problems. This is the definition that inspired this exhibition. Each of the participating artists takes an already established visual language and uses technical and creative skills to address complicated political histories and underrepresentation. 鈥淗acking鈥 also describes the challenge of making physical art in a digital age. By assigning a digital-age term to the age-old challenge of making relevant art, Tucker seeks to bridge a gap and plant new seeds.
