Ving Simpson’s intent in creating art is to unfold the inherent nature of something, an idea, a rule, a notion, a person, or a thing, and uncover an artistic understanding of the essence of its existence. He uses his artistic process to edify himself, using what he considers an alternate channel of perception to circumvent the folded (Cartesian, analytic, logical, linguistic) approach to knowledge. Though difficult to describe the process in words, Ving has discovered that a number of topics have yielded to this process. The idea of “numbers” deepens, the quality of “warriors” clarifies, the enigma of “space and time” unravels, and the universe drops some of its inscrutability. Ving uses this artistic frame of mind, where form and color, material and method join with unfolded intent to infiltrate the big questions of life in this big universe of ours. The artwork is what is left over.

The group exhibition How We Gather investigates the notion and enactment of solidarity across various contemporary artists’ practices through the lens of the pandemic. The state of emergency brought on by COVID-19 both magnified existing structures of precarity and inequity, while also strengthening social bonds. In the words of writer, activist, and artist Johanna Hedva, as a society we witnessed “what happens when care insists on itself, when the care of others becomes mandatory, when it takes up space and money and labor and energy.” The failures, shocks, and losses brought on by the pandemic revealed a deficit of care in numerous realms, inspiring many artists, activists, and theorists to reevaluate how their work can generate a greater responsibility to a collective body—a stronger sense of unity, collaboration, and mutuality. From conversations on “solidarity economics” to attempts to build “solidarity infrastructures,” this exhibition takes stock of what solidarity in the arts means today.
