Non/Sense is a proposal for a site-responsive exhibition of eight artists that sets out to examine notions of sense through contemporary art. The concept of ‘nonsense’ is something explored provocatively by writers such as Stein, Campos de Carvalho and Artaud, but mainly rejected by artists. One reason for this is probably quite obvious. In the history of visual culture, many of the forms and tools of artmaking have been co-opted in service of mass propaganda.  In this context, the interpretation of non-sense as ‘expression emptied of sense’ is hardly benign. In the hands of demagogues, where clear sense and meaning are a threat to power, empty but spectacular expression can find insidious use. And yet, in truth, nonsense, as the flipside to 'sense', creates exactly the environment where conventional reasoning and its dominant narratives can be challenged. So we ask, how can the notion of nonsense serve as the driving force of sense? What is revealed to us through expressions that are ostensibly 'emptied of sense’? We have selected artists who work within this uncharted territory, whose works, through both form and siting, upend conventional notions of hierarchy, authority and power. In this way, nonsense is treated not as a failure of expression, but as a provocation for counter-sense. It invites those who engage with it to enter the elusive but productive domain of conflicting logics as complex as the psyche on the path to its own revealing.
