Louise Bourgeois, George Condo and Danh Vō in In Other Worlds: Acts of Translation
25 June—13 September 2025
Group exhibition at The Roberts Institute of Art, London, UK
This exhibition developed in collaboration with Focal Point Gallery brings together works from the David and Indrė Roberts Collection, some of which have never been shown in a public gallery before. In Other Worlds engages with the theme of translation — through storytelling and myth, history and memory, language and materiality — and features a newly commissioned audio installation and live performance by Haroon Mirza.
At a time when anything can seem open to interpretation, yet nothing appears to hold the exhibition asks: how do we engage with multiple perspectives without collapsing into relativism? How can we communicate across distances while still recognising differences? How do we engage with others — people, histories, ideas — without assuming full knowledge or easy equivalence?
