'If not you not me' exhibition by Annie Abrahams - update.

We hope to see you there.

Ruth Catlow has written an essay to accompany the exhibition

Where social networking sites make us think of communication as clean 
and transparent, Abrahams creates an Internet of feeling - of agitation, 
collusion, ardour and apprehension. This exhibition presents three new 
collaborative works alongside documentation of recent networked 
performances created and curated by the artist.

About Annie Abrahams

Annie Abrahams was born to a farming family in a rural village in the 
Netherlands. She obtained a doctorate in biology in 1978 and found that 
her observations of monkeys inspired curiosity about human interactions. 
After leaving an academic post, she trained as an artist and moved to 
France, where she became interested in using computers to construct and 
document her painting installations. She began experimenting with 
networked performance and making art for the Internet in the mid 1990s. 
Her work has since returned to the questions raised by the monkeys, 
concentrating on the possibilities and limitations of communication on 
the Internet. She has performed and shown work extensively in France, 
including at the Pompidou Centre, Paris, and in many international 
galleries including among others Espai d'Art Contemporani de Castello, 
Spain; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; and the Armenian Center 
for Contemporary Experimental Art, Yerevan; festivals such as the Moscow 
Film Festival and the International Film Festival of Rotterdam, and on 
online platforms such as Rhizome.org and Turbulence.
