A group of artists share their work on dissonance, law and acts of agreement and disagreement.
As an exhibition, Dissonant Laws seeks to unpick the relationship between citizens, authority, and rebellious invention. How do laws create or engender artistic resistance? How can creative dissent in turn encourage new forms of legality?
Bringing together a group of artists, it explores notions of aesthetic resistance and rebellious acts taking the form of performance art, flash mobs, murals and sonic acts, often considering art movements that intentionally broke the law, creating radical reinterpretations of how groups of people might occupy space and responding to contexts where, at times, laws might need breaking.
Including works by:
Mocksim, Distant Animals, Luce FM, Helen Dewhurst, Rhys Trimble, Sarah Holyfield, Andreas Philippoulos-Mihalopoulos, Sabina Andron, FU & Your A-Sides, Francesco Pizzocchero, Ken Clarry, Anat Sarna, Curtis Essel, Oğulcan Ekiz, Ni Shan, Alison Young, Kerry Baldry.
