​Language segments the vastness of infinity into comprehensible units of time and space. Speakers of different languages offers different interpretation of the concept of time with their spatial metaphors. These concepts exist solely within the frameworks of the languages that articulate them, and these notions have become ingrained and accepted as fundamental truths. We constantly rely on these constructs which create mental timelines.

 

However, on an intuitive level, we perceive vigorous movements within our sensory field, upon which we impose or envision the constructs of time and space. The measurements themselves are arbitrary. In fact, many philosophers have a perspective that time, or some aspects of time, is unreal. Is time really divided by tense? Is there simply an ordered series of moments? Has anybody never caught a fleeting glimpse of something just beyond their field of vision? These subtle perceptions suggest the presence of something beyond our current understanding. What sense exactly do we use to perceive time and space, is something to be comprehended, captured and expressed. 

​

This group exhibition features the work of five artists who have grappled with such profound questions. Through visual exploration, these artists delve into concepts like time and space, boundlessness and boundaries, generation and transformation, reflection and re-imagination. They shuffle and reshuffle these ideas to produce extraordinary results.
