COMMON CULTURE: NOT NECESSARILY IN THE RIGHT ORDER (PAST TOURING)
27 Sep, 2013 at 12:00 am - 12 Jan, 2014 at 12:00 am
New Art Exchange (NAE) is proud to present Not Necessarily in the Right Order, a newly commissioned, three-screen video and sound installation by Common Culture. Common Culture is a collaborative artists’ group consisting of David Campbell, Mark Durden and Ian Brown.
Not Necessarily in the Right Order responds to Nottingham’s diverse multi-cultural demographic by exploring the social significance of carnival and festivals as one of the few public opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity, signifying a demand for recognition and re-imagining cultural identity.
Through the development of Not Necessarily in the Right Order, Common Culture has recognised that while a festival is a place where cultural identity is preserved, it is equally powerful as a platform to influence and therefore diversify broader communities. Using these observations of festival as a starting point, the artwork explores what it means to be British in the 21st century. Dismantling the imperial view that cultural identity is singular and fixed, Not Necessarily in the Right Order, explores the perspective that Britishness, like all cultures, has always been hybrid, and our identity will continue to shift.
Not Necessarily in the Right Order is both a celebration of Britain’s vibrant multi-ethnic heritage, and a speculation on its potential future.
