‘Transmission Interrupted’ is a group show looking at how contemporary artists disrupt prevailing forms of registering and representing the world. With contributions from over fourteen artists working internationally, the exhibition demonstrates art’s ability to make visible and audible what remains unseen and unheard at a time when free speech and democracy are invoked as universal values to which we can all subscribe. Many of the works in the exhibition are poetic testaments to events and experiences that have a passing and, in some cases, recurring presence in the public domain. Participating artists: Adel Abdessemed, Pilar Albarracin, Yto Barrada, Mircea Cantor, Jem Cohen, Jimmie Durham, Simryn Gill, Julia Meltzer and David Thorne, Lia Perjovschi, Michael Rakowitz, Ernesto Salmeron, Yara El-Sherbini and Sislej Xhafa.

Transmission Interrupted is curated by Suzanne Cotter, Senior Curator at Modern Art Oxford, and curator and writer Gilane Tawadros.
