Prats Nogueras Blanchard is pleased to present FERAL AGENCY on the occasion of Apertura Madrid Gallery Weekend. This exhibition brings together works by Agnieszka Kurant, Hito Steyerl and Haegue Yang that explore forms of agency that emerge beyond the limits of individual authorship, human intentionality and stable systems of control. Drawing on practices that diversify techniques and materials, methodologies and references, the three artists address a shared condition: the growing presence, and visibility, of forces that act, produce effects and generate meaning without belonging to a single subject.
Rather than understanding intelligence, knowledge or agency as properties possessed by autonomous individuals, this exhibition approaches them as distributed phenomena that emerge through biological organisms, technological infrastructures, economic systems, material environments and cultural networks. In this way, the works reveal a world in which authorship is collective, matter is active, and the capacity to differentiate between the natural and the artificial becomes increasingly unstable.
