Luigi Allemano, Judith McNaughton, Minttumaari Mäntynen, Joanna Smythe, and Andres Wanner

In distinct approaches, Luigi Allemano, Judith McNaughton, Minttumaari Mäntynen, Joanna Smythe, and Andres Wanner showcase works that interrogate notions of transformation and hybridity.

Exhibition themes operate around the notion that our perception of the world is influenced by mechanisms that extend, enhance, or reinterpret subjectivity. Such themes invite the viewer to consider a number of questions. How do mediating structures affect our sense of place?  What defines experiences across media? In what way can aesthetic artifacts be transposed into different modes of experience? What if objects were liberated from their original context to become an end in themselves?

“Here the interstitial is both the condition of the between and the consequence of a particular process. As such it could be described as both process and effect. And yet it is not one and the other – process and effect – as though they could not be separated.
