Exhibitions — Villa-Legodi Centre for Sculpture

The Villa-Legodi Centre for Sculpture regularly host exhibitions, either in the Centre’s Project Space or making use of NIROX’s exhibition spaces. These exhibitions are intended to advance the study of art and sculpture. They are often hosted in collaboration with tertiary institutions and universities and accompanied by workshops that enable students and the general public insights into an artist or group of artists working processes. At times, the exhibitions may showcase work produced by an artist in residence, or the many works produced by a group of artists developed over the course of a workshop. These workshops are often geared towards the exchange of knowledge, where artists share skills, techniques, or approaches to working with particular materials. Teachers and lecturers are invited to reach out to the Centre to facilitate walkabouts, workshops, and talks related to our exhibitions programme.

CURRENT

elize vossgätter: systemic

systemic names both the subject and the method of this work. In ecology, the term describes an intervention that moves invisibly through a network until it permeates the whole — as in systemic pesticides that seep into the roots and rise into every leaf. In culture, it signals the hidden structures, habits, and logics that reproduce themselves until they feel inevitable. In my practice, systemic is the acknowledgement that contamination and care, refuge and refusal, are never separate states but different expressions of the same entangled system.
