Join Brigade Gallery for an evening of art, as gallery director Karen Foss Becker takes you through Zugzwang, a group exhibition with works by Petra Cortright, Alva Le Febvre, Amanda Lydért, Elisabeth Molin, and Jordan Sears.
Zugzwang refers to a condition in chess where a player is forced to move, even though every possible move will worsen their position. In the exhibition, this concept functions as a prism for the contemporary paradox of humans becoming entrapped in the very systems they create. Across painting, video, photography, and installation, Zugzwang mirrors a state where engagement is inseparable from consequence, and where the acts of looking, reading, and navigating the space become an entry into a system of play - with no easy way out, only a continued entanglement into the web of structures that define our present time.
Brigade Gallery invites you to enjoy a glass of wine as everyone explores the exhibition together.
