what we do
AgentC Projects focuses on the role of curator as agent in the development of contemporary art. Working with curators from a variety of realms, we facilitate the exploration of emergent practices, discourse, infrastructure, and events that bring challenging work to fruition, give voice to curators and artists, and enrich community. facebook instagram
Upcoming - 2023
Here. Today. It looks like our wonderful exhibition with James Kemp and Rhea Paez might be a go at the Crescent Beach Pop-Up Gallery in 2023! We are just waiting to hear about the details and dates that we'll be given access to this wonderful space on Crescent Beach. Take good care, and please check back for updates. You can also follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
HERE. TODAY.
James Kemp | Rhea Paez
Here. Today. investigates how the act of making, combined with a hyper awareness of that which surrounds us, whether it be the socio-political, environmental, or personal, drives creation and can generate discourse.
The practices of artists James Kemp and Rhea Paez are firmly entrenched in process and materiality, and the interrogation of what it means to be here, today. Their visually and conceptually engaging sculptural works explore themes such as society’s distancing from the environment through to the human challenge of dealing with internal conflicts and past trauma.
James Kemp explains that his recent works are intended to “convey the instability of our culturally conditioned insatiable manufactured appetites” and while they defy the norms of working with clay, they are firmly embedded in it’s history.
For Rhea Paez her materially driven sculptures have transitioned from a body of work that examines the external, such as fracking, to more introspective and transformative works where the process of creating has emerged as being as powerful for her as the final works themselves.
OPENING NIGHT
We look forward to sharing details, and connecting with you in 2023.
