In this way, viewers encounter a poetic interpretation of a specific subject that may more closely approximate its felt experience.Ĭurator Andria Hickey states, “The exhibition is developed through conversations with artists and seems especially timely given the increasingly complex relationship we have with world events that are both affecting and divorced from personal experience. Rather than create works that function as direct accounts of a specific event or situation, the artists in the exhibition use form to weave a complex narrative using a constellation of source materials. Through the lens of international artists working in a wide variety of media-sculpture, assemblage, film, installation, and painting-the exhibition probes how subjects born of changes in our international social, political, and economic contexts inhabit unexpected artistic forms. The title of this exhibition references a book of the same name by American poet and scholar, Joan Retellak, which is in part about forms that break patterns. Emblematic of an increasing global dependence on abstract transactions that occur largely outside of our vision and comprehension, the works in the exhibition manifest the complexity of modern life in both form and process. Timed with the fifth anniversary of MOCA Cleveland’s Farshid Moussavi-designed building, A Poethical Wager explores the ethical dimension of works that use abstraction, minimalism, and assemblage to approach complex ideas that cannot be addressed through representation.
