HYPERION

Hyperion is an exhibition taking place during Frieze New York 2016 in central Manhattan, in a vast building by Union Square. Hyperion aims to react against the white-walls and shop-front art fair displays with an innovative curation lead by a core of MTArt artists.
The exhibition encompasses multiple artistic voices of our generation: including 3D printing, installations and immersive projects. The international crew of artists and the MTArt team is flying to New York for this unmissable occasion and will be on the ground to unveil the creative processes of the works to a wide audience. With this mind, MTArt once again shows the benefits of a new type of business model for the art world: a talent agency promoting and supporting top artists across the globe.
True to Formationism, the curation of this project will reveal the creative processes behind the works and incorporate the viewer in the development of both visual and conceptual narrative. Hyperion presents a theoretically coherent curation, where artworks converse with one and another facilitating a meaningful dialogue rather than being limited to the standard shop-front display.
Featuring a selection of works from artists Scarlett Bowman, Anna Fafaliou, Walter & Zoniel, Lina Iris Viktor, Tristan Pigott and Will Thomson, each artist project can be viewed in isolation but also understood as part of a collaborative and interactive endeavour to contemplate and question notions of self, memory, time and materiality.
