Properties of…

 

“Air, I should explain, becomes wind when it is agitated.”

Lucretius, On the Nature of Things

 

The exhibition is titled “Properties of…”.  It refers to the notion that artists do not create things that are new to us, but their art engages properties of the world and our lives to make them newly visible and tangible. Odor or temperature of personal situations, weight or complexity of collective sentiments, or color, volume, and sound of things exist in between of every being that composes the world. The artists in the exhibition, the winners of 2020 AHL Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Awards would do just so by each occupying unique space and with their highly authentic visions and approaches. They agitate the properties of their choosing. They present the world to us.
