Exhibition
The Dictonary of Received Ideas
Featuring a series of individual initiatives between the curators and twenty international artists, 'The Dictionary of Received Ideas' celebrates the independent and diverse practices of the Goldsmiths Curating Programme and has abandoned an overarching thematic agenda to encourage an array of curatorial approaches and ideas. Taking its title from Gustave Flaubert’s satirical text 'The Dictionary of Received Ideas', the exhibition highlights artistic oppositions and establishes a narrative between these explorations. Working against uniformity, the project takes on the ironical clichés of what group exhibition making can be. 'The Dictionary of Received Ideas' intermixes a variety of mediums - painting, drawing, installation, video, and sculpture. This collusion of objects and ideas is an intentionally messy manner in which to understand that each curator and artist produces work that is distinctly their own.
