ABOUT THE SHOW<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Austrian Cultural Forum New York<\/strong><\/a> and Undercurrent<\/strong><\/a> (in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute New York<\/em>) are pleased to present un\/mute<\/strong><\/a>, an international group exhibition of collaborative works by 28 artists across multiple disciplines. On view at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York and Undercurrent, the exhibition is the culmination of an 18-month-long project that was launched in 2020 to provide European and NYC-based artists an opportunity for critical exchange and collaboration during the COVID-19 global pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do communication and collaboration mean in a time of uncertainty and isolation? How is the artistic process impacted by going \u201cfully remote\u201d? In un\/mute<\/strong>, artists from 10 countries were paired to explore these questions. We recognize that effective communication requires active engagement of all the senses and an openness to diversity, interpretation and digitalization. But what does that look like in practice? The project challenged teams to overcome the limitations of lockdowns as they connected across artistic mediums, language, culture, generations and time zones to find new forms of expression and meaning within art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

un\/mute<\/strong> is the physical manifestation of online conversations among strangers who became collaborators. What began as abstract, ephemeral and digital are now 14 tactile, analog and concrete artworks presented across two locations. The artists confronted the parameters imposed by the lockdowns and each team found creative solutions that we might all learn from. The common thread that runs through the sculptures, installations, films, drawings, photographs and performances is the importance of language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever-evolving, language encapsulates an innate power dynamic that is renegotiated, redistributed and reimagined in uncertain times. While words like \u201cscreenshare,\u201d \u201cZoom-bombing\u201d and \u201cunmute\u201d enter a universal lexicon, and \u201c#relatable\u201d memes are shared across cultures, we also face the limits of language as we work to avoid miscommunication and misunderstanding. Cultures and countries apart, the artists endeavored to find a bridge across two points in (virtual) space through the ephemeral Zoom link. What they also discovered were empathy from a fellow artist, discussions that sparked new ideas, a shared language around the creative process and a rethinking of the power of art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With cities re-opening, a recontextualized focus on systemic racism and xenophobia, and our collective experience of 18 months of self-reflection, un\/mute<\/strong>observes the transition into a new epoch \u2013 one that imagines an inclusive and diverse ecosystem. Differences may surface in times of cooperation and compromise, but synergy can be forged through friction. We trip, we regain our balance, we shift, we reconsider. What is crucial is that when we do have the chance to rise to meet the moment, we seize the opportunity and \u201cclick unmute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On view at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York and Undercurrent, the exhibition is the culmination of an 18-month-long project that was launched in 2020 to provide European and NYC-based artists an opportunity for critical exchange and collaboration during the COVID-19 global pandemic.\nWhat do communication and collaboration mean in a time of uncertainty and isolation? How is the artistic process impacted by going \u201cfully remote\u201d? In un\/mute, artists from 10 countries were paired to explore these questions. We recognize that effective communication requires active engagement of all the senses and an openness to diversity, interpretation and digitalization. But what does that look like in practice? The project challenged teams to overcome the limitations of lockdowns as they connected across artistic mediums, language, culture, generations and time zones to find new forms of expression and meaning within art.\nun\/mute is the physical manifestation of online conversations among strangers who became collaborators. What began as abstract, ephemeral and digital are now 14 tactile, analog and concrete artworks presented across two locations. The artists confronted the parameters imposed by the lockdowns and each team found creative solutions that we might all learn from. The common thread that runs through the sculptures, installations, films, drawings, photographs and performances is the importance of language. \nEver-evolving, language encapsulates an innate power dynamic that is renegotiated, redistributed and reimagined in uncertain times. While words like \u201cscreenshare,\u201d \u201cZoom-bombing\u201d and \u201cunmute\u201d enter a universal lexicon, and \u201c#relatable\u201d memes are shared across cultures, we also face the limits of language as we work to avoid miscommunication and misunderstanding. Cultures and countries apart, the artists endeavored to find a bridge across two points in (virtual) space through the ephemeral Zoom link. What they also discovered were empathy from a fellow artist, discussions that sparked new ideas, a shared language around the creative process and a rethinking of the power of art. \nWith cities re-opening, a recontextualized focus on systemic racism and xenophobia, and our collective experience of 18 months of self-reflection, un\/muteobserves the transition into a new epoch \u2013 one that imagines an inclusive and diverse ecosystem. Differences may surface in times of cooperation and compromise, but synergy can be forged through friction. We trip, we regain our balance, we shift, we reconsider. What is crucial is that when we do have the chance to rise to meet the moment, we seize the opportunity and \u201cclick unmute.\u201d\nJoin the conversation online and follow ACFNY\u2019s Instagram (@acfny) and Undercurrent\u2019s Instagram (@undercurrent.nyc); please use the #unmuteNYChashtag when posting.\nun\/mute is a project by Undercurrent and the following members of EUNIC NY \u2013 European Union National Institutes for Culture: Austrian Cultural Forum New York, Czech Center New York, Consulate General of Estonia in New York, Delegation of Flanders to the USA, Goethe-Institut New York,Lithuanian Culture Institute, Arts Council Malta in New York, Polish Cultural Institute New York and Romanian Cultural Institute. un\/mute is also supported by EUNIC Global, the European Union Delegation to the United Nations, Hope Recycling Station and Jind\u0159ich Chalupeck\u00fd Society.\nEXHIBITING ARTISTS\nEren Aksu (Germany), Anna Bera (Poland), Aaron Bezzina (Malta), Alex Camilleri (Malta), Mariella Cassar-Cordina (Malta), Saddie Choua (Flanders, Belgium), Sanne De Wilde (Flanders, Belgium), FOQL (Poland), Gabriel\u0117 Gervickait\u0117 (Lithuania), Nicola Ginzel (Austria), Justyna G\u00f3rowska (Poland), Kris Grey (NYC), Kyle Hittmeier (NYC), Ada Van Hoorebeke (Flanders, Belgium), Olesja Kat\u0161anovskaja\u2013M\u00fcnd (Estonia), Mo Kong (NYC), Yi Hsuan Lai (NYC), H.
