Exhibition Overview

In the sense that they are contingent on perception, seeing and hearing are also ways for a person to "tell." But there isn't only one way to understand and express things. Like how people can "see" without using sight or "speak" through sign language, there exist as many ways to "tell" as there are human bodies. This is not a special means lim­ited to certain people, but rather an ability that everyone has in order to live alongside the things and people different from themselves.

Our opportunities to enter unfamiliar territory by chance or spend time with others have declined over the past year and a half, greatly transforming our bodies. The artworks in this exhibition are attempts to interpret and express what is not there as a personal experience. The resulting works adopt an array of mediums and forms, from photography to painting, models, score drawings, video, and sound. Through these works, the exhibition utilizes the imagination of visitors to create a place where viewing becomes an experience unique to each person. It explores various ways of telling, so weakened today under the sheer weight of information in our lives, and envisions the bodies that weave that telling.
