BELLY CONSPIRACY /// GROUP EXHIBITION,2022
A trio exhibition emerged within a shared studio space, where different practices and materials synergized. Common to all the works is an unyielding resistance to matter, an aspiration to turn the material "against itself" and violate it, thus giving rise to novelty, disruptions, and physical mutations, which in turn allow the evolution of sculpture-as body and space.
Material such as iron, silicone, epoxy, tin, and wood, whose incarnations in the shared studio are displayed in the exhibition, are realized as a swamp of rust submerged in a translucent stone, a labyrinth of iron arches, wrinkled silicone as coarse as skin, and bells whose kiss has robbed them of sound. These sculpted tributes reveal the fertility echoing from within the material, a longing for a new embodiment. Through ardent playfulness, these three artists have redefined sculpture as a perpetual process of anthropomorphism.
