It's a material world
-
The group exhibition “It’s a material world” showcases a selection of works by five contemporary artists who are exploring the use of diverse materials in their art. From traditional techniques like oil on canvas to more unconventional materials like found objects or palladium leaf, these artists are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in contemporary art. The exhibition highlights the renaissance of multimedia artists who are combining multiple techniques within their oeuvre. The works create immersive experiences, that engage the viewer on multiple levels and help them gain a deeper understanding of how materials can be used to create new forms of expression.

The selected artists gather examples of the almost infinite possibilities of materials and techniques while stretching the definition of art. The visitors are greeted by a large textile work by Constanza Camila Kramer Garfias, who critically examines the historical context of fabrics, and takes textiles to their limits, both as a medium and a subject.
“I have always been fascinated by everything that has to do with textiles. The history of textiles is almost as old as that of man. Fabrics must have existed as early as the Stone Age. Textiles have evolved in many directions since then. This brings with it an incredible wealth of craft techniques and cultural heritage.” Constanza Camila Kramer Garfias, 2022

“The juxtaposition of brightness with melancholy, round shapes with sharp lines, and manipulated proportions all converge to create an arresting and resonant visual narrative. Bob Geerts’ art extends an invitation to embark on a captivating journey, where the tales of old intertwine with the unfettered realm of the imagination.” Bob Geerts, 2023

As a Chinese American artist, I dialogue with and challenge the affective racialized, gendered constructions that codify my body and identity as harmless and nonthreatening within the hegemonic West. I am interested in how my presence has the capacity to disarrange systems of prediction based upon otherness and threat. - stephanie mei huang, 2022
