Presented by Victoria Miro and David Zwirner, Side by Side explores increasingly poignant dualities in art and society: how the digital represents the physical; how a work’s surface transmits the artist’s intentions and ideas; how to be present in an exhibition while not being there.
Primarily featuring artists co-represented by both galleries—which are longtime peers, friends, and collaborators—this online-only exhibition highlight works by each artist that exemplifies the physical materiality of their practice. The multidimensionality of these works can be experienced via 3-D rendering technology on parallel platforms—online and also via the Vortic app, which presents these works in high-resolution virtual-reality versions of Victoria Miro’s and David Zwirner’s London galleries. The experience is a mirror of our world, but also not quite like it.
Featuring works by Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Stan Douglas, Alice Neel, Chris Ofili, Grayson Perry and Franz West. Side by Side is available to view exclusively at sidebysideonline.com.
Side by Side is available to view both here and via the App Store on Vortic Collect.
