Objects of Care

Exhibition by Astro

With questions of “care” being at the forefront of the art world, popular psychology and mainstream culture for the last few years, Objects of Care aims to critically explore what it is to one another.

How do we visualise it, when we allow ourselves to experience it, where do we seek to find it? How does it move from the personal to the collective,how can it bring us together?

The group exhibition gathers work from thirteen artists, each of whom addresses the subject from either different, related, and in some cases, contradictory perspectives. Its programme explores the politics of care through cultural identity, memory, technology, ecology and ritualism, with further interrogation of how kindness relates to the material.

In this show care moves away from the space of the mind and becomes a living thing.

As the world becomes undone
I become undone with it
I mend
Repair
I bring the world together
Care, is a tangible thing
