Earlier this month, international arts platform Schoeni Projects and HKwalls announced virtual group exhibition called “disCONNECT.” The organization has now unveiled a physical installment of the show that is set to take place in a London townhouse. The presentation features site-specific works from 10 celebrated artists including Alexandre Farto aka VHILS, Aida Wilde, Isaac Cordal and artist-duo, Icy and Sot. 

Highlights of the show include VHILS’ intricate relief portraits carved on doors and windows, a sculptural illusion by the artist Zoer, and sociopolitically-charged pieces by the artist duo, Icy and Sot. Altogether, the works in the exhibition reflect on a variety of issues including the physical and creative restraints amid the COVID-19 crisis and the role of technology as a conduit between the two.

Schoeni Projects’ mission is “promoting and celebrating cross-cultural exchange through an innovative series of collaborations, presented in unique creative environments,” as per a statement. Check out installation views in the slideshow above and then visit Schoeni Projects’ website to learn how you can visit ”disCONNECT.”
