C- Space is pleased to present "Strategies for Concealing", an
international group exhibition curated by Maria Rus Bojan .
The exhibition will display over 30 pieces from 15 artists from Argentina
, The Netherlands, England , Romania , Israel and China , including newly
created work.

Bringing together this international group of artists, many of whom are
showing in a Chinese context for the first time, the exhibition
"Strategies for Concealing" proposes an investigation on how artists
produce new meanings by using, appropriating or subverting camouflage
techniques and practices.
The exhibition intends to question what the role of concealment is and how
it manifests itself in a time where everything around us is becoming more
invisible. Examples abound, from military advances to financial
institutions and the movements of capital to nano-technology and
bio-cybernetics.

Rather than de-cloaking that which was once camouflaged, the works
presented in this exhibition accentuate the contradictions that result at
the intersection of various strategies of concealment, pointing with irony
to excessive "concealing for concealments sake" techniques and making more
visible emerging visual incongruities.

Spanning ideas from scientific and technological camouflage to techniques
employed by the military, from biology to aesthetics, the artists invited
offer a dialectical response to the question of what camouflage means
right now.
 
In conjunction with this exhibition an extensive catalogue will be
published that will offer further debate on the artistic survey of this
topic.

The exhibition has been made possible with the support of: Galerie Martin
Van Zomeren Amsterdam, Galerie RonMandos Amsterdam/ Rotterdam , MB Art
Agency Amsterdam, carlier/gebauer Berlin , Project Stichting Amsterdam
