Paradise/Paradox proposes an exhibition of work by
contemporary artists in a range of medium who explore
the paradoxical nature of imaging paradise and planning
for the future.
[…] Due perhaps to the new century and millennium or as a way
of taking stock of present concerns and issues, many
contemporary artists have turned to envisioning the future.
While their imagery – utopian, practical, visionary, conceptual,
conflicted, optimistic, pessimistic, fantastic or cathartic-
parallels similar debates about our future among economists,
politicians and cultural analysts, this common quest for a
transformative ethos–to be paradise bound, to find that city on
the hill, to envision that perfect economic system is to affirm
the quixotic and ephemeral nature of life in the 21st century.
The paradox of paradise may be that it is also about desire and
aspiration. As such, it must always remain a fantasy, one that
is, ironically, a testimony to all that is flawed and imperfect in
the present.
