The Age of Dreamers Is Over

  • Megan Treacy

A contemporary group show navigating the historical scales of anthropogenic rupture, as well as the potential for collective healing. This immersive exhibition brought together interactive sculpture, sound, and light works from artists Louise Beer, Jack Lewdjaw, and Mina Heydari-Waite. Unified by the idea of the night and darkness as a site of creative energy and potential growth, the three artists included in this exhibition have examined forms of rupture from the climate crisis; to revolution and colonialism; to the decay of the English high street. Reflecting upon the notion of ruination and rebuilding, The Age of Dreamers is Over serves to explore the impact of human hands on one another and on the very world we live in – if we have the capacity to destroy then we can also attempt to mend and create.

As co-curator of The Age of Dreamers Is Over, I was involved in all areas of exhibition production from theme conception to de-installation, taking a leading role in the production of written material, including press release and exhibition interpretation. In addition, I acted as lead liaison for one of the exhibiting artists, with whom I finalised logistical decisions over email and Zoom, editing and referring closely to the project budget spreadsheet. I developed the ability to easily navigate Google Suite and Microsoft Office applications, strengthened my short-term and large-scale organisation skills, and gained practical experience of the role and responsibilities of a curator.
