"As we navigate the liminal spaces between the abstract and the visceral, the imagined and embodied, how do we hone our attention and generosity towards one another?
What intimacies do we desire to partake in, what vocabularies do we imagine embodying?
Pushing and probing at the bounds of translation, legibility and connection across bodies, species and ontologies, like letters brings together the practices of Aki Hassan ( @akihassans ), Nina Djekić ( @ninadjeki )and Weixin Quek Chong ( @jadeite.bat ).
With a shared understanding of language as a visceral and affectual medium, the artists speak to each other through a variety of forms; text, video, sculpture and movement.
The motif of the textual narrative, both present and implied, runs through this gathering of new works; an underlying conversation layering forms, textures, voices and images like the crunching, crumbling, composting detritus of a forest floor.
like letters will open Saturday 5 November at 6.30pm. The show will be open until 27 November, Thursdays to Sundays from 1 to 7pm."
