On January 24th 2023, the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock – a symbolic timepiece that indicates the likelihood of a human-precipitated apocalypse – moved to 90 seconds to midnight.
It was around this time that artist @gray_wielebinski began research for his biggest commission to date: a solo exhibition at @icalondon – the prestigious arts institution within touching distance of Buckingham Palace, the royal seat, and Whitehall, the heart of Britain’s political institution.
Situated along such a physical axis of power, the ICA’s location became a natural preoccupation for 'The Red Sun is High, the Blue Low' – particularly, the eeriness its immediate context elicits in our current pre-apocalyptic cultural climate; the notion that metres from where visitors are stood, decisions could be made that could bring about the end of the world.
The conclusions are subjective, but Gray’s interest here is to interrogate the paranoia’s function as a powerful tool in institutional meaning-making. “It's a very rich and sensitive affect to plug into. I was thinking about paranoia as a lens to look at power, information, truth and history."
Hit the link in bio to read more about the exhibition which captures the ambivalence, paranoia and creative potential of our strange present.
