I do not wish the audience to participate in my thing. – Yvonne Rainer

Amidst an increasing equivalence of experience shared online, we wish to argue for difference.

This exhibition emphasizes the volumetric encounter and seeks to preserve a state of individual, physical impression. By slowing responses to more surreal vocabularies, viewers hold their own perspectives. Many of the processes and references behind each drawing, sculpture, or painting displayed may not be easily read. That’s alright – needing to know falls outside scope.

This closer-up view detects inward movements within and between the works. Halting an inclination to language and the errant logic that wants to call these works together into a notion, the curators wish to draw out the space felt and caught before translation.

Shama Khanna (flatness.eu) is supported by an Artists International Development Fund award from Arts Council England. She will present a related screening of artists’ moving image entitled Flatness: Index at Microscope Gallery on September 21st.
