Hook is pleased to present There was only this world, this looted, ventriloquized Earth curated by New York-based organizer and independent curator Francesca Altamura. “There was only this world, this looted, ventriloquized Earth,” a title taken from a work by Brooklyn-based artist Cole Lu, is an exhibition that brings together twenty-one emerging artists from sixteen countries, whose artistic practices, whether they are consciously aware of it or not, have been influenced by the chaos of the contemporary moment, and who have developed coping strategies and ways to uniquely bear witness to this moment.
