agony of attention

An exhibition celebrating Stordes’ 15th anniversary.

The exhibition, titled ‘the agony of attention’, addresses form and meaning of strategy. More than 100 drawings and other works investigate the essence of strategy and what it entails, while these works also explore the space for novel expressions of strategy. 

The title refers to the current time and age in which the desire for attention and the associated fight for attention are larger than the ability to give attention. In that light strategy is a particular way of thinking, decision making and communicating to get the attention to achieve a better position through interventions.

The shown images make other lines of looking and thinking visible and pose questions that are otherwise not asked. A different light is shed on strategy, beyond existing conventions. The unusual and wonder are explicit ingredients to evoke deeper layers of engagement. In that sense the exhibition is also a quest into the human desire for understanding and connection.
