TRA Collective is pleased to present our new group exhibition 'Always container, sometimes contained,' an exhibition that touches on themes of homescapes, inhabitance, and spatialised time.
About
"Always container, sometimes contained, the house serves Bachelard as the portals to metaphors of imagination." – John R. Stilgoe
This exhibition features artists using found objects, fibre, images, and sound to create a visual record that touches on themes of homescapes, inhabitance, and spatialised time. Just as Bachelard sees the house as the portal to metaphors of imagination, “Always container, sometimes contained” presents a site of contingent relations where interiors and exteriors can be reversed, a space full of reverie and imaginings, a portal that opens to "vastness of place while at the same time admitting within a vast inverse."
“Always container, sometimes contained” also incorporates site-responsive installations and performances that activate the exhibition space at Greatorex Street.
