Townhouse 10 Nabarawy St, off Champollion St, Downtown. Tel 2576 8086 *First Floor gallery “Ugly Feelings” is an exhibition about emotional states that reflect a lack of agency. Anxiety, irritation, envy, lethargy — the kinds of feelings that are vaguely uncomfortable, sometimes difficult to justify, and usually dismissed as relatively banal, despite their pernicious power to prevent the emotional subject from acting.These feelings have a tendency to circulate during times of painful uncertainty, keeping their subjects disoriented and making it difficult to perform. The exhibition is driven by a personal curatorial essay by Ania Szremski narrating a diverse group of works, which are bound together by a shared aim of dealing with or provoking particular emotions. The text itself is a response to certain vexing questions Townhouse has been facing since 2011 about how it should continue to operate in an extended traumatic moment. Artists find it difficult to work, exhibitions are cancelled, and seemingly innocuous projects can trigger unexpectedly violent controversies; as a result, the institution finds itself having to re-negotiate its programs very quickly (and usually with very limited resources) in reaction to the changing circumstances (running through 20 November).
