The exhibition ONLY A PART, NOT THE WHOLE brings together works that play with processes of transformation, manipulation and de-identification. Using abstraction, poetry, distraction, and reappropriation, the artists weave concepts of visual representation with memory and fiction to blur the distinction between the natural and the artificial, the organic and the digital. In doing so, the exhibited works allude to the paradoxes of illusion and deception by taking objects out of their original context and transforming them into new images in order to make visible the production of narratives and perception that shape our surroundings.
The underlying focus of the exhibition explores and presents mediums beyond its conventions and, in it, considers and transcends the boundaries of the medium; what happens when a medium changes with its presentation and how can a means of reproducing reality become a means of creating a new reality? The exhibited works challenge these questions while reflecting on the boundaries and connections between the two-dimensionnal and the three-dimensional. The title ONLY A PART, NOT THE WHOLE, as such, reflects on the possibility of steering away from a medium as a whole and instead taking fragments and bringing them elsewhere.
