From the Gallery: The theme of this year’s fundraiser turns to joy, happiness and pleasure as artistic modes of possibility in need of reclamation. The works featured in this exhibition look to art that exceeds mere utility, indulging our impulses and extending our capacities for feeling, sensuality, and desire. Joy has at least as many meanings as there are people, from simple pleasures to the transgression of jouissance and the radical alegropolitics of collective joy. To attend to moments of happiness and pleasure, is to realise what takes us outside of ourselves, to engage in the abundant materiality of the world around us.
