Press Release

Edy Ferguson’s comprehensive art installation articulates different areas of energy of Ferguson’s oeuvre. This exhibition presents a multi-layered view of her work in various techniques—drawing, installation, performance, video, and painting—in the form of a Gesamkunstwerk, or 'Total Artwork'.

​

The curatorial criterion for this show lies in the belief that Ferguson has anticipated a number of issues that are at the core of the current artistic debate. The scope of her skills, her freedom to employ a wide array of media, as well as her stance towards performance make for a body of work that is challenging, creative, all-inclusive, and engaging. Rather than the contemplation of individual works, this show proposes to feature the artist’s vision in its full complexity, with all its stratifications, emotional sensitivity, and infectious energy.

​

Through allusions to “high” and to “low” culture—often resorting to icons from cinema or the world of rock music—Ferguson poses pertinent and poignant questions on the role of emotions in artistic creations, on the freeing power of images and music, and on the coexistence of multiple and contradictory points of view in our experience of reality.

​

Ferguson has exhibited in New York, London, Athens, San Francisco, Venezuela, Poland, France, and Austria.  More recently she exhibited solo at Faggionato Fine Arts in London, Bernier Eliades Gallery in Athens, and was included in the exhibition Faces at the Onassis cultural Centre, Athens, the Benaki Museum, Athens, The 2nd biennale of Mardin, Turkey, and a retrospective at the Centre d'Arte Contemporain in Geneva Switzerland.
