The Bracknell Gallery and Mansion Space Galleries As populations surge and international migration grows steadily, the movement of people, objects and identities are activities that have taken on a political and cultural character of their own. Whether the movement is across the city, across the country or across the world we are confronted by the product of such movement, which creates cultural congestions – Jam. The exhibition explores the concept of cultural congestion in visual art practices in work by emerging Asian artists, including Madi Acharya-Baskerville, Ming Turner, Tsai-Wei Chen, I-Ting Hou, Su-Chen Hsu, Emma Kwan, Feng-Ru Lee, Wang Ruobing, Bindu Mehra & Himanshu Desai, Hua Kuan Sai, Sam Su and Pei-Shih Tu. What happens when there is so much art, so many exhibitions and so many events? Does this overwhelm the viewer and do we develop sensory overload? Or does the congestion enable pausing and reflection of the richness and diversity across cultures? Jam: Cultural Congestions brings together artists from a range of cultures to explore and construct a visual jam, a think-tank and space created by cultural congestion. The exhibition is curated by Outi Remes, Madi Acharya-Baskerville and Yi-Fang Chen. It is supported by the National Culture and Arts Foundation, Taiwan, the National Arts Council Singapore and Panasonic.
