Point - Horizon - Structure

About

The title of the exhibition, Point-Horizon-Structure comes from Maurice Merleau-Ponty's study of perception, defining it as a process of experience and conscious action. The three artists featured in this show share a similar concern for the mechanisms of perception, questioning and constantly redefining its essence through experimental studio practices. The works included in this show share a common ground, a fundamental set of elements with which to experience and understand the phenomenology of perception, namely light and shadow, and correspondently, matter and void. These elements represent the binary opposition at the heart of an experience of the world, which is predominantly visual and photographic. Through their studio practice, these artists question the intersections of photography, drawing and installation, blurring the line between the bi-dimensional and the sculptural.
