Infrangible Matter; Tracing the Elements

The exhibition is inspired by the five elements or agents within traditional Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean cultures. The elements inform cosmic cycles, the interior of the body and the natural world. Variations of these elements appear in the cultural heritages from across the globe, including Japanese “Godai”, Hinduism and Greek Mythology.

Infrangible Matter; Tracing the Elements explores five elements from a cross- cultural perspective. Artists in the exhibition draw from a variety of cultural roots to offer conceptual and poetic interpretations of the elements and how they can reflect deeper themes. Fire, Water, Air, Metal and Earth become agents to address current reflections on colonisation, the environment, migration, personal ritual and more.

With: Min-Woo Bang, Cindy Yuen-Zhe Chen, Frankie Chow, Thomas C. Chung, Charlotte Foster, Ganbold Lundaa, Pamela See and Hirofumi Uchino. More artists to be announced.
