As his new solo show opens at the ICA in London, Gray Wielebinski talks about the anxiety that can accompany living through late capitalism, life during and after a pandemic, and climate change
, the sound of cicadas buzzes in the air, while a white-noise-like sound installation conjures the artist’s childhood in Dallas. “They make me think of summer and hanging out outside as a child, but they also sound menacing, like a siren,” says Wielebinski.
The show is Wielebinski’s take on the present moment – ”pre-apocalyptic” – and the oscillation between amnesia and anxiety that can accompany living through late capitalism, life during and after a pandemic, as well as climate change.Although broader in scope and more referential than Wielebinski’s previous work, it builds on longstanding themes and interests. One is the ways in which we interact with private and public space.
Enter the ICA show: a continuation of these ideas, with new interactive elements that Wielebinski “hopes aren’t gimmicky, but provoke a sense of affect or presence” as well as communality. Site-specific, the show responds directly to the ICA’s position on The Mall and its proximity to Buckingham Palace , St James’s Park , and the Admiralty Citadel – the ivy-covered building opposite the ICA that was built in 1940.
That’s why all of the works in the show have this shimmering meaning, going from being light and fun to dark and confusing … because that’s how I feel as well, quite paranoid but also ambivalent.”
