NEW YORK - Nyenta -- Flush Gallery Presents Moral Injury
[Manhattan, New York. August 22nd, 2024 - August 29th, 2024 ]

Curated by Elle Gillette, the exhibition Moral Injury explores the diverse perspectives and techniques of artists working across painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Drawing upon Susan Sontag's seminal work, Regarding the Pain of Others, the exhibition examines the portrayal of suffering and conflict in our image-saturated era. Sontag's critique of observing others' pain from a position of safety and privilege, extended into the digital age, prompts us to reflect on how we engage with these images without becoming passive observers.

Moral Injury addresses psychological, spiritual, and emotional harm that arises from exposure to actions or events that conflict with one's moral beliefs. This exhibition aims to counteract numbness and apathy by offering a different perspective on suffering. Each work reflects the artist's unique experience of suffering, emphasizing that form is not a passive reception but an active method of processing pain and making meaning.

By delving into how pain and suffering are represented through various forms and practices, Moral Injury challenges viewers to confront their responses and the ethics of depicting suffering. The exhibition invites a reflective engagement with artworks from diverse cultural and historical contexts, fostering a deeper understanding of how suffering is portrayed and perceived.

How do we continue to care for what we do not live through and witness with our own eyes? This question frames our exploration, urging viewers to examine their own roles in engaging with the pain of others.

The opening reception will be held on August 22nd, 2024 from 6-8pm, with many of the featured artists in attendance. This event is open to the public.

The exhibition is free and open to the public by appointment ONLY. For more information, please visit flushgallery.cargo.site or contact flushgallery@gmail.com.

The exhibition will be on display from August 22nd to August 29th at Hercules Art Studio, located at 25 Park Place in Tribeca. Proceeds from the submissions and zine purchases will go towards the INARA Rapid Gaza Relief Fund.
