Featuring 22 large painted canvases and 6 freestanding sculptures, Robyn Ward's Walking in the Dark speaks to the themes of migration and traumas - both national and personal - by asking the question of: why do people roam? What is the aftermath of perpetual movement?
It narrates a story that is both timely and provocative, reflecting the artist's personal experience with chaos, governance and violence, while commenting on the breakdown of society and referencing to both historical and modern-day global disputes. While engaging with themes of destruction and conflict, Ward's work addresses his own life, defined by a perpetual sense of movement and a constant feeling of geographical restlessness.
Published on the occasion of New York solo exhibition by the contemporary artist. Best known as the co-founder of Mana Contemporary, a global, multidisciplinary and comprehensive arts centre, Shai Baitel currently serves as the artistic director of the Modern Art Museum (MAM) in Shanghai.
