3. Family Dynamics Episode – Curatorspace London CuratorSpace, 47 Great Eastern
Street, London EC2A 3HP
Curator: Ken Pratt
Family Dynamics is a concept that has trickled down -and mutated whilst trickling- from the realms of counselling, family therapy and the broader heritage of psychoanalysis. Once used almost entirely behind quiet clinical doors, the bitch-slapping of Jerry Springer and quietly-spoken vicars of morning radio have put the concept firmly within a pop psychology. We understand that individuals, particularly in the context of the Western nuclear family, communicate through constantly shifting roles and behaviours, often articulating drives for power or need of care more clearly through what is acted out than what is articulated. We have all become familiar with the idea that we may be, individually, the cast of a number of roles to other family members, roles that change or are re-cast in response to the changes and demands of others. "Family Viewing - The Family Dynamics Episode" explores the differing practices of a number of contemporary artists who examine or play with the idea of the family, overtly or by inference, as a context for constantly changing relationships. Changing relationships through which meaning or reading can change. This international exhibition includes artists working in a range of media from painting and photography to sculpture and video. The commonality connecting the work is the way in which either process or content -or perhaps both- are bound up in the cultural notions of family dynamics.
