Exhibition concept
This exhibition will offer a structured opportunity to investigate the contemporary and historical context of art and science, exploring how research and production may have implications for discovery and invention within both disciplinary fields and how these may relate socially and culturally. Giving artists room to express their own ‘unknown’.
With the worlds current sense of urgency, this multifaceted and dynamic micro-exhibition will consider contemporary issues that exist at the intersection of curatorial practice and artistic production.
The theme of ‘the Invisible’ leads to complimenting themes of the unknowable, the absent, inaccessible, unrecorded, incompressible or unspoken.
This exhibition will invite the viewer to investigate the manifold ways by which artists deal with forms and concepts that are otherwise familiar with renewed appearances and meanings.
The narrative of the exhibition will be built around Paul Coldwell’s quote: “How can we articulate the invisible, that which is not known, or that which is not provable?”
Works will be presented fit into this theme of absence with each selected artist having the opportunity to adopt an entire section of the Triangle Space.
