The exhibition titled “Dancing with the Moon” features drawings, sculptures and videos by Winnipeg-born New York-based artist Marcel Dzama, offering a glimpse into the artist’s lyrical, magical, humorous and often exaggerated telling of peculiar yet relevant stories. Curated by Alistair Hicks, the exhibition emerges from the artist’s colourful imaginative world centred on music and dance to address significant global issues such as the failures of governance, environmental destruction, and the calamities caused by wars.
The catalogue accompanying the exhibition includes a curatorial text by Alistair Hicks titled “Bughouse Chess: Bughouse Truth”, delving into Marcel Dzama’s visual language and influences, an insightful interview with the artist conducted by Ulya Soley at his studio in Brooklyn, New York enriched by photographs taken by Civan Özkanoğlu, as well as a comprehensive text by Ezgi Bakçay titled “I Dreamed I Woke Up” that reveals the many unique ways Dzama’s work can be conceptualised throughout art and cultural history.
