PALIMPSEST: the not-so-blank slate, Aug 2 – Sept 29, 2024
In this exhibition, artists are challenged to interpret the concept of palimpsest in various fascinating ways. From the ever-changing layers of artworks that continue to evolve as they are impacted by the environment to people’s interventions leaving only traces of history, we also ask a bigger question of what was lost in the process. What will we discover about ourselves and our culture by unearthing the traces of our past?
The exhibition’s theme is an opportunity to question our relationships with ourselves, each other, the animal kingdom, and the planet, and explore how those relationships are constantly being written over, leaving only traces of the past. What is left for the curious are faint threads to follow and unravel.
This show allows us to be both playful with materials and engage with a deeper reflection of our culture, ever mindful of what may have been lost and re-discover the value in what could be unearthed with the ‘ not so blank slate.’
