dd/mm/yyyy

12th - 31st May 2016
School of The Arts Gallery
Singapore

As the curators began to envision a space of resolved works, they questioned why this should be the case. dd/mm/yyyy explores the transience of time through art with the works in the exhibition each exploring the theme of 'expiries of the everyday. 

Lived through calendrical cycles, human life is largely conditioned by the experience of time as a structured entity. However, time itself has multiple dimensions, and it is these dimensions and alternative measures of time that the works in dd/mm/yyyy examine. Each work is a commentary on the temporal state of human experience, reflecting upon the constant state of flux that exists within the everyday. 

The supposed completion of an artwork is, in this exhibition, challenged by continuity, in the form of ongoing artistic processes, audience interpretation or interaction, or through artwork's shift in physical form through the course of its exhibition. Standing in the center of the gallery the audience is seemingly at the eye of the tornado, watching the space shift around you.
