2012
consists of twelve works, twelve artists and twelve
exhibitions. In
each month of 2012 an artist will be invited
to
present one new work at The Mews Project Space, London.
In
showing twelve works individually through out a year the
project
will take the form of a group exhibition that slowly
metamorphoses
over time. Simultaneously, each installment
also
represents a one-work exhibition and an insistence on an
encounter
with an individual artwork. In our age of chronic
information
overload, which manifests itself in the art world
through biennials,
large-scale museum exhibitions and art fairs,
the
need to pause and consider an individual artwork in greater
depth
is a timely proposition.
The
beginning of 2012 represents the initiation of a thought
process
rather than a result of one, with decisions being made
as
and when it is needed. 2012 is an artwork-centered project
that
has no predetermined theme and participating artists will
be
confirmed as the year unfolds. The project is in part a
response
to curating becoming an increasingly discursive
discipline
in which greater emphasis is placed on themes rather
exhibition
to discover what it might be about and celebrates
than
artworks. 2012 adheres to the principle of making an
intuition
through structures that evolve over time.
