Anthony Corner: Shh...what's that?

“Anthony’s artistry evokes a profound and often unconscious merging of the senses. While visually captivating, his work delves deeper by alluding to the realms of touch and sound, creating a synaesthetic- like experience for the observer;” says psychologist and neuro-scientist Michael Banissy, in describing Corner’s work, which will be on show from October 10th, 2024.

The exhibition is accompanied by a limited-edition publication including an essay from the philosopher and writer Alex McKeown, exploring Corner’s background and motivations. McKeown observes: “The value of art, including the body of work to which Anthony has committed his life derives partly from… the basis of a single individual’s unique experience what is true for all when faced with the challenge of being here, and the gravity of having to evaluate; to decide; to choose; to act; and to create – deliberately, repeatedly, over and over – that is to say, of having to live; for a limited period, moment to moment.”

Luca Berta and Francesca Giubilei (VeniceArtFactory), who curated Corner’s recent show at SPUMA – Space for the Arts in Venice, have brought together their experimental style and hybridisation of sensory experiences to perfectly present this new show.
