Group Exhibition: DegreeZero: Utopia/Dystopia in Contemporary Art brings together thirteen artists organized by Lawrence Gipe and Constance Mallinson around the unstable boundary between utopian idealism and dystopian collapse. Taking its title from Roland Barthes' concept of neutral, decolonized language, the exhibition extends that framework into visual rhetoric — spanning propaganda aesthetics, sacred iconography, necropolitics, surveillance, military strategy, and ecological crisis. The works propose that utopia and dystopia are not opposites but simultaneous conditions, each the inevitable shadow of the other.
