V.O Curations is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition “Mr. Majidi and the Electricity Box” of collaborative works by Iranian filmmaker Mania Akbari and British sculptor Douglas White. In continuation to their film “A Moon for My Father” (2018), the exhibition features new photographic and sculptural works that reflect on biopolitics and forms of governmental control. Made from found objects and authentic imagery, the disquieting and surreal series focuses on specific instances of censorship, surveillance and control. Akbari and White further invite the audience to contemplate the complex and often invisible connections between state, body and objecthood, through a poignant and personal perspective.
Saturday 7th December to coincide with the exhibition, Mania Akbari and Douglas White have curated the cultural event Body and Borders featuring 10 screenings from contemporary artists whose works explore the physical, political, emotional and sensual borders of the modern corporeal experience. Screenings will include the work of Johann Arens, Mania Akbari, Lucy Clout, A K Dolven, Barbara Hammer, Carlos Mott, Lynne Sachs, Margaret Salmon, Mark Street, Jessica Sarah Rinland, Miranda Pennel and Douglas White. A panel discussion, moderated by art critic Nick Hackworth will follow the screenings, featuring Mania Akbari, Johann Arens, Lucy Clout, Miranda Pennell, Margaret Salmon and Douglas White to discuss the Body and its entangled power structures.
