Press Release
Milestone Nerve expands upon the research, practices, and processes first explored in The Bald Eagle’s Claw, a group exhibition which took place at Xpace Cultural Centre in 2019. After more than half a decade passed since the first incarnation of this conversation, Milestone Nerve reunites the work of Andrew Harding, Brandon Fujimagari, Yan Wen Chang, Josi Smit, and Philip Leonard Ocampo as an exercise in longform dialogue, eventual returns, and personal / artistic growth. It breaks down hierarchical relationships between artists and curators to uncover new possibilities emerging within contemporary institutional practices.
As an arena wherein they may steadfastly situate themselves at a new nexus point, the artists of this exhibition once again gaze upward and outward towards the unknown horizon. Forging a new benchmark in personal and collective time (milestone) necessitates both bold defiance (nerve) and uncertainty (nervous) interlaced. If the world changes, then so do we.
