Figuring a Scene

Exhibition Catalogue

Inviting readers to explore the process of form-making through art, this book delves into how artists transform events and objects into narratives that evoke moments in history. The curatorial essay examines the concept of "figuring"—embodying art and its significance in the world. Unfolding across various episodes, natural elements become conduits for grasping social forms. From a fruit tree sculpted into its own likeness to a fire birthing a metropolis, the essay examines the intricate relationship between art and society.
