Documents Alternatives #2
28 January – 24 February 2018
Documents Alternatives #2 presents a (re-)staging of ephemeral artworks that are in ‘motion’ and responsive to intent.
The exhibition highlights the fluidity and diversity of translation, showcasing multiple artistic voices and media, including video, holography, text, painting, print, and sound.
This experimental, discursive approach treats the document as a new artwork, and the artwork as a new document, keeping the ephemeral in flux and in transition.
