<br>
<br>
Modern Art Oxford's spring exhibition, <i>Transmission Interrupted</i>, looks at how contemporary artists disrupt
prevailing forms of registering and representing the world. Featuring the work of over fourteen artists working
internationally, the exhibition suggests art's ability to make visible and audible what remains unseen and unheard in a
world of constantly shifting social, political and ideological values. <br>
<br>
Many of the works in the exhibition are poetic testaments to events and experiences that have a passing or recurring
presence in the public domain. Adel Abdessemed's <i>Practice Zero Tolerance</i> (2006) a burned-out car fashioned from
black clay is a mute witness to the riots that took place in Paris' working-class districts in 2005. Sislej Xhafa's
installations and performances render visible experiences and relationships that are barely recorded. His live
performance piece elegant <i>sick bus</i> (2001/9), which involves a group of men pushing a mirrored tour bus through
the streets, draws a parallel with the burden imposed by tourism on local populations. <br>
<br>
A number of artists in the exhibition offer meditations on fleeting realities in cities and their inhabitants, which
are at odds with the impacts of globalisation and heightened public fears and prohibitions. Simryn Gill's uses found
materials to create replicas of our material world and her photographic projects map the in-between spaces of
borderlands and margins. Jem Cohen's mesmeric film, <i>NYC Weights and Measures</i> (2006), documents New York street
life at a time when filming in the city is becoming increasingly controlled due to national security concerns.<br>
<br>
Presented in Modern Art Oxford's galleries and in sites in the city, the exhibition is accompanied by a programme of
screenings, artists' talks and in conversation events, and a fully illustrated book designed by Åbäke with
contributions from Human Rights scholar, Thomas Keenan and poet Mourid Barghouti.<br>
<br>
<i>Transmission Interrupted</i> is curated by Suzanne Cotter, Senior Curator, Modern Art Oxford and Gilane Tawadros,
independent writer and curator.<br>
