A collection of works selected by Rory McCartney.
Censorship raises complex cultural, philosophical, political and ethical questions regarding authorship. The works in this show highlight how the limitations of censorship can be explored and dissected with creative outcomes. This exhibition comprises a selection of published works, within those debates, that vary in format, period, and geographic origin. Comparisons can be drawn between contemporary and historical material; high and low culture in printed form; recorded sound and moving image.
The exhibition is comprised of a selection of artefacts dating from 1585 through to contemporary items. The books, posters, prints, photographs and sound recordings shape a discussion around the suppression of public communication, and the cultural and political effects of a censored press.
The exhibition includes work by Caravaggio, Francisco Goya, Alexander Rodchenko, Kourosh Yaghmaei and Patrick Cariou vs. Richard Prince.
