La Maison De Fay is proud to present ‘AGGRESSION’ at St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden, a showcase of photography, sculpture, conceptual, video and performance works by international artist questioning the causes, nature, expression and results of aggression.Sparked by the recent London riots and following the general wave of public uprising known as ”The Arab Spring”, we invite you to experience a selection of artists interpreting the theme AGGRESSION through actions and objects. Being inherent to human evolution and drive, aggression is a part of humanity that is culturally and socially discouraged, yet influences so much of the cultural and social systems which defines contemporary life in any age. Through the act or the fear of aggression, groups and individuals move in directions against other groups and individuals. The most celebrated and epoch defining actions of humanity are closely associated with great acts of aggression, yet aggression is culturally and socially seen as the worst expression of what it means to be human.This artistic action attempts to unravel some of the current feelings, thoughts and expressions of AGGRESSION.The show will involve contributions from artists and curators from the UK, South Africa, Germany, France, Japan, Israel, UK, Brazil, USA, Korea, Mexico, Argentina, Lithuania, Poland, Italy, Greece and Russia. Works will include painting, photographic, sculpture, visuals, video, installation and performance art.
