Fragility 2020: An online exhibition of works on paper.
Because of Covid-19, we are experiencing a new sense of acute fragility. From a new understanding of our own physical vulnerabilities to watching once perceived stable economies stand still, we are forced to face the reality of a truly vulnerable society and state. Our artists observe the limitations of an exhausted healthcare system, a postal system on the verge of collapse and the fragile state of media and trust in scientific information. This exhibition is specifically focused on the fragile medium of works on paper. Artists often use paper and drawing as a way to work through ideas and create drafts that are considered temporary. The ephemeral nature of the medium lends itself to consider the current world of uncertainty and fragility we find ourselves in. Sharing artwork in a time when we are unable to physically visit galleries and museums is an important part of staying connected and compassionate. Purchasing work from working artists not only supports creative communities, but all the artists showcased in this online exhibition have all generously pledged to donate 20% of all sales from this show to healthcare workers on the front lines. We are all in this together.
