He is a co-editor of the Journal of Curatorial Studies. He is also a founding member of Display Cult, a curatorial collaborative that aims to rethink exhibition prototypes by amplifying sensory aesthetics, interrogating the diverse histories of display, and engaging with the performative aspects of presentation. Drobnick will lead an Insite tour of Getting Rid Of Ourselves exploring this conceptually rich show. He has published extensively in the field of visual arts, performance and the senses. We hope you can join us.
Exhibition Dates: July 16 to October 11, 2014
Getting Rid of Ourselves presents artists and artistic collaborations whose work in different ways obscures, delegates, withdraws or complicates the conventional signs of authorship and artistic subjectivity. Works in the exhibition question the link between art and self-expression through tactics of anonymity, shared authorship, appropriated identities, delegated production, and financial speculation. Highlighting how subjectivity is treated as a form of living currency to exploit, market and sell to, the exhibition explores the diffusion and distribution of artistic agency and intellectual property.
