Often funny and frequently situationist in character, Socially Disorganised presents video art that activates the city in absurd and novel ways.
"'Social disorganization' means a particular set of conditions that make it easier for crime to take hold in urban contexts. The works in this exhibition 'act out' a kind of delinquency," writes the curator.
Vasif Kortun has invited an impressive array of artists who use a range of strategies that include public performance, tactical collaborations, filmed acts of simple and surreal futility, and the simultaneous use of diverse media.
