"For the Blind Man in the Dark Room Looking for the Black Cat That Isn't There' explores the speculative nature of knowledge and insists on the importance of curiosity and the things we don't understand. Starting with the premise that art is not a code that needs cracking, the works in the exhibition present explanations that playfully don't explain. These artists all share an urge to understand the world, and also recognize how nonknowledge, unlearning, and productive confusion each play active roles in that process. Dedicated to the inquisitive mind, 'For the Blind Man...' celebrates our ability to get lost and the stories we use to find our way in the dark.
