Stanley Février
This spring Arsenal Contemporary Art is pleased to welcome Stanley Février for a residency.
Stanley explores the physical and psychological suffering caused to individuals by the violence of the modern world. While his politically engaged works are inspired by the issues of power in an era of globalization, they also address more intimate questions, such as the relationship with oneself and one anothers, which has become difficult in a world where listening has lost its value. He attempts to create a meeting space where participants are at the center of the work, and leads them to re-politicize themselves and assert their experience in order to finalize the work; in an awareness of the self, the us, its political power and the political "understood as concern for oneself and the other".
