SHIFT (2015)

 

SHIFT is an exhibition presenting the first collaboration between Wimbledon MA Fine Art and Chelsea College MA Curating & Collections, held at Menier Gallery in London.

 

I participated in the group exhibition and displayed a colour version of GAZE. The small black-and-white drawing is expanded to 50-by-50 cm oil painting, questioning relationships between “I” and natural world in contemporary life.

 

 

Mirroring the views of philosopher Heraclitus on flux, the exhibition presents the viewer with the idea that the present is not static, but instead a moment of constant change. SHIFT invites the viewer to experience an exhibition as a transformative experience, which challenges the gallery as a fixed space and invites viewer to participate in the present — a moment of constant transformation.

The exhibition will be reconfigured via the repositioning and repurposing of the works in various ways, creating a new experience and exhibition daily. SHIFT contains a wide range of work that reflects the connection and exchanges of society and culture, which is reflected in the mutating city of London — the city that has brought together the international group of displaying artists. It stands as an inter-play between exhibitor and viewer, ultimately creating a space for individual interpretations of the environment and works, which are constantly in SHIFT.
