ARTISTS
Cut & Go
Cut & go 鈥� this sounds short and sweet, quick and easy. Materials are separated, divided and cut. At first glance simple, straightforward, even banal.
However, in utilising a wide variety of materials and techniques in the artistic process, those seemingly simple procedures of separating, dividing and cutting open a vast range of possibilities.
How do artists deal with the newly emerging hybrid material? What about the gaps and fractures that open up? What happens at the intersections? And will the cut-out parts be further combined, assembled and transformed, or will they become remnants, or perhaps even waste? Is the blank space problematic, or is it precisely within those gaps where the actual work forms?
The exhibition 鈥瀋ut & go鈥� brings together sculpture, mixed media, works on paper, performance and installation, all of which feature the techniques of separating, dividing and cutting in a wider sense.
The exhibition focuses in on the different attitudes and approaches adopted by each artist, and how they interrogate such processes. It is not limited to formal concerns, however, since these techniques open the possibility for a political or social-critical reading of the work. Each cut, fracture or gap appears not only on a material level, but raises questions surrounding individual and social pasts and futures.
