Coated in Pre-existence

I was the curator of this group exhibition for the art platform Elizabeth Xi Bauer in September 2016. The
show was held at The Cob Gallery and was accompanied by a publication. For more information and
photographs of the exhibition visit Elizabeth Xi Bauer website. Extract from the press release:

Is art for the living or the dead? Is it innovative when it addresses posterity and the future or rather when it
plunges into the profound past and is offered to the forgotten?

For Elizabeth Xi Bauer's exhibition, 'pre-existence' has been a stimulus to experience the moments that
precede creation in the present; a reversal of time to penetrate another way of thinking about art and
existence in the world today. Scraping hyper-real realities and futuristic simulacra these five artists have
clustered around origins and backward references.
