Transcending Physicality recognizes that place extends beyond mere physicality, encompassing narratives, histories, and emotions. Through the work of fourteen artists, the exhibition aims to illustrate the multifaceted dimensions that contribute to the essence of a place.
“I wanted to create an exhibition to explore and interpret the concept of place from the viewpoint of artists from different backgrounds,” states exhibition curator Minoosh Zomorodinia. “My aim is to spark meaningful conversations about the significance of spaces in shaping cultures, fostering connections, and resonating with personal and collective experiences.”
Inviting us to contemplate the intricate relationship between people and spaces, the artwork exhibited goes beyond the physical, touching memory, identity, and collective awareness. It highlights how art empowers us to go beyond the limits of our physical surroundings and gain a deeper understanding of the complex nature of “place.”
