Concurrents

The show brings together concurrent practices across spatial signifiers (e.g. the “national,” the “regional,” the “local,” the “foreign,” etc.) into negotiation and dialogue. It aims to ferry artistic testimonies beyond the confines of time zones and localizable spaces. It also aims to deconstruct ramifications that dichotomize or divorce the local from the national, the native from the foreign, and vice versa. It intends to articulate art as a conversant and dialogic testament; a kind of practice that transgresses the delimitation or localization of spaces; a kind of practice that mediates pretensions as a proper corrective to the poverty of language and cultural constructs. In other words, the show hopes to enliven humanity’s enduring conversation with itself – a conversation that could bind together the variegated dimensions of a human being.
