Survey II is a major national partnership exhibition led by Jerwood Arts and opens at Site Gallery on 12 March 2022.
Showcasing new commissions by ten of the most exciting early-career artists from across the UK, the exhibition provides a distinctive snapshot of current artistic concerns and approaches right now.
Exhibiting artists are Saelia Aparicio, Tereza Červeňová, Sadé Mica, Rebecca Moss, Cinzia Mutigli, Katarzyna Perlak, Shenece Oretha, Tako Taal, Nicolaas van de Lande and Angharad Williams, the exhibition explores a wide range of subjects, but at its core is a common preoccupation with how we relate to each other and the world around us.
Harriet Cooper, Head of Visual Arts, Jerwood Arts said, “Survey II brings together new work by some of the most compelling early-career artists working in the UK today.
“One of the most exciting things about this project is that we can support artists to evolve, develop and understand their work as they present it to new audiences across the UK through the national tour.
“We are so pleased to have been able to work with such an ambitious and talented group of artists on Survey II, and to be in conversation with them about their practice over the last two years. I look forward to seeing the presentation at Site Gallery in Sheffield, and how the works will come together in this new setting.”
Artists consider the balance of control between humans and nature, the representation of queer and marginalised bodies, and the possibility of transformation for both materials and beings.
The exhibition will present new sculptural, photographic, textile, moving-image, sound and assemblage pieces across the galleries, curated by Angelica Sule, Programme Director, Site Gallery.
Many of the artists have used the space and time enabled by this commission to use mediums new to their practice or to expand on ideas tested in previous bodies of work. The works have been shown in 2021 in Cardiff and London but will be presented in a new way for Sheffield audiences, in the final tour date and the ‘last chance to see’ the exhibition.
