Speculative Links
This exhibition presents select works from the Salama Bint Hamdan Emerging Artist Fellowship鈥檚 (SEAF) eight-year tenure, pulling threads and recurring themes of research that persist through different cohorts. From painting, textile, video, and photography, the selection reflects a collective questioning of memory to place, time, and a sense of rhythm and repetition.
Titled "Speculative Links," the exhibition brings together artists who retrospectively seem to have experimented during the fellowship with abstract patternology, participatory narration, geo-mapping, digital dislocation and fabrication through the lens of research. The show attempts to reflect on the relationship between art pedagogy and production, and the connection forged between the artists' authentic voice and the processes and critiques that shape their practice.
The exhibition gives a sense of how artists from different cohorts responded to the program, producing works that resonated achronically with each other, and mapping a collective sense of vulnerable and precarious placement. The artists' work spans a wide range of practices, including painting, drawing, engraving, mixed media, and embroidery, exploring from personal memories, to social commentaries, as well highlighting the intense homing desire.
