Neither honored nor dispirited, as we have always been.
We are calm while pleased to announce the opening of the four artists group exhibition, “Transience: Intractable Objects”, from March 27 to May 17. With certainty, we welcome your attendance and viewing.
Theme, in the name of the object
Respectively, electricity, light, fire and
stone – rather than liaising them with four materials, in fact, they are four
objects - pertinent to the materials and objects the artists adopt and
represent. At a glance, you may mistaken
these four characters as the basic elements of the universe of this exhibition,
instead we could consider them as the spiritual light at a distance, that is
profoundly engulfing the medium and forms of these artworks. Well, as they are seen
in both their physical evidence and abstraction.
They are rowdy or even coarse, requiring both the artists’ body and intellect to control and manipulate. At the same time, they must also be impossible to tame and are uncontrollable. In our view, they are certainly the wild and intractable objects. Just as how materials or the artworks are to the artists, or, how the artists are to us…
What we would like to emphasize is, this is
neither a thematic exhibition, nor is it an exhibition that aims to work out
the works of the artists as illustrations of an assignment. We have decided on
this exhibition title at the very last stage in putting it together, just before
we were almost ready to use “The Untitled” as a “skeleton key” to all doors. We
took the risk in waiting for the arrival of the artists’ new works, as we wait
for a long lost sense of uncertainty, even if it is transient, like the light
of lightenings, or the fire of flint stones.
