Electioneering 2024!
The visual language developed over years of insipid political advertising now permeates the majority of our technology leading up to every election in the United States. Those idiosyncrasies that emerge within each cycle are quickly usurped by a prevailing, overarching, and perhaps even comforting-if-only-by-way-of-familiarity, tone of cynical electoral politics. The subsequent sigh from the voting body arrives for us in couplets, once as the ads are terminated from our devices and a second time as the election results are counted.
This thematic exhibition requests mailed responses on the visual language of electoral politics that further complicate, problematize, and reflect on the ways in which our political system is now interwoven with the human experience. The curation of the exhibition mirrors the frenetic pace of the cross-platform media buy, expanding and intensifying its presence exponentially as election day approaches, culminating in a frenzied and cacophonous online exhibition in the days leading up to the US election. The website featuring all received works will be on view through inauguration day, 2025.
We are particularly interested in global responses to the election cycle in the United States, though we intend to show all works received.
