This exhibition explores how artists use lines as fundamental elements in creating their works, and how lines can convey meaning, movement, and emotion. It delves into the various aspects of lines, such as their fluidity, language, and roles in artistic practice and ecosystems, to consider how lines shape lives and relationships. In artistic expression, lines are not mere static marks but dynamic gestures that capture the artist's movements and intentions, defining boundaries and intersections between different spaces and concepts. Lines can blur the boundaries between inside and outside, past and present, self and others, sometimes rigidly and sometimes ambiguously, and relate to the interconnectedness and interdependence of various phenomena. By considering lines as entities "in-between," we can explore their multifaceted and evolving nature in shaping our experiences, connections, and perceptions of the world.
Focusing on art as a way of engaging with and participating in the world, this exhibition suggests that in the contemporary era of ongoing "becoming," art continues to reveal various cracks through which we navigate to continue living. Let's examine the various "lines" within artworks, including the ongoing process of emergence, and discover the intertwining of simple and complex, multilayered lines. This exhibition aims to integrate human creative practices into a broader context and encourage viewing the world not as a collection of individual entities but as a network of interconnected ecosystem processes.
