New Works
“New Works’’ is Dybeck’s sophomore solo exhibition following his debut “Before You Leave, Turn Me On My Side’’ earlier in 2020. The works in this exhibition follow along the familiar themes and attitudes regarding digital mediation, absurdism, adolescence, and experimentation. New concerns of cyber communication, urban folklore, and sports memorabilia heavily inform the works in the exhibition as researched by Dybeck in order to navigate his recent relocation to Chicago,IL.
The format of “New Works’’ weaves Dybeck’s material based practice and interest in digital meditation with the contemporary concerns of social distance in response to institutional and gallery closures as they pertain to digital presence. The cyclical osmosis of posting and downloading information to and from the internet serves as a key point of interest in the works as they exist, both on and off screen.
The works in “New Works” assess the current state of institutional space and physical interaction with art objects, raising questions about the validity of the viewers’ experience. The format and specifications of “New Works” critique the measurement of fulfillment and satisfaction of the newly adopted standards and norms assigned to digitally mediated art presentation and subsequently community engagement.
