Overview
Sharjah Art Foundation presents GCC’s first solo exhibition in the United Arab Emirates where the collective was formed in 2013. This exhibition departs from GCC’s recent MoMA PS1 retrospective, presenting existing work recontextualised and extending ideas from the retrospective into new works responding to the site of the Sharjah Art Foundation.
The artists explore the aura of achievements within material built environments and through lighting and soundscapes. As a consequence, the works in the show refer to the mechanisms of power and authority as mediated by architecture and how environments can shape collective and individual experience.
