Exhibitions
Time. Space. Place is a material examination of our physical, social and natural environment. Through an examination of landscape and culture, Sherwood interweaves ideas of masculinity, purity and womanhood with reclaimed and regenerated industrial material. de Vivero investigates surfaces and space through various materials to convey aspects of everyday life and the social-political sphere across the globe. Ideas of feminism and post-colonialism are explored, while boundaries, migration and displacement are analyzed. Houston records the passage of time, cycles and daily motions while investigating the inextricable relationship between people and the natural world. The process Houston takes encourages people to pause and contemplate natural phenomena. Sterz translates natural light, color and movement through the use of industrial material to explore the intersection between the corporeal and the emotional, the temporal and the ephemeral, while evoking a spontaneous response from the viewer, something he shares with his fellow exhibitors.
