To interrupt is to create ‘pause’ within the flow of a discourse or action. It is counter to what is being said or done simply by means of being an obstacle. When we propose this exhibition, it is not to light the way for some grand theory, set eyes on a sparkling new direction, illuminate or even entertain.There is no curator, no suggestion or limitation of subject matter, no template for the artists or the audience to follow. It is essentially formless; consisting purely of what the artist decides to include – individually and without even mutual consultation.As an exhibition, what ’Interrupt’ does is to bring purposelessness together as a display of anti-conversation, of counter-logic, an embracing of contradiction.It could be seen as an interruption of the normal practice of the artist, and the way art is exhibited. In other words, ‘Interrupt’ is a blurting out of what’s on the mind, thrust centre place into (what’s become) the normalized state of the arts.
