Too Much Freedom?
Freewaves unleashes 150 international artists’ responses to the question, “Too Much Freedom?” selected by curators from Los Angeles, Argentina, Korea, Egypt, Mexico, South Africa and beyond. The festival opens on November 3 & 4 at the Hammer Museum and continues throughout the month.
The videos, films and web-based media examine freedom and its contradictions, revealing artists’ ruminations on this political ideal as well as experiments testing the limits of their own artistic freedom. The works celebrate freedom by their very existence, keenly crafted in response to the raw material of our sensory-rich and dynamic visual culture.
