spacetime (x, y, z, + t): Katherine Mitchell DiRico, Monika Grzymala, Nicole L’Huillier,
Sarah Trahan, Zsuzsanna Szegedi
January 21−March 15, 2020

The exhibition features digital projections, 3D printed objects, inkjet prints, VR drawings, video, site specific light installation and a dancing robot. Bradbury considered how our perceptions are challenged and consequently change when artists include a durational element into an otherwise object-based artistic practice. Additionally, spacetime includes both subtle and dramatic sonic elements that, when combined with drastic scale shifts of the various installations, contribute to a compelling immersive exhibition experience.
The works included in spacetime (x, y, x + t) investigate the dynamic relationships between objects, their materiality and demonstrate how an idea, object, or artistic concept can ‘travel’ across time, multiple media and physical locations. Together these five artists’ aesthetic experiments offer an exploration of the rapidly changing intersections between the physical and the digital, objecthood and performativity, and expose how the virtual and the real interact in new ways as a result of current technological advancements.
According to Bradbury, “What interests me in these works is a broader theoretical concept of ‘art as event’. These objects, ideas, and material manifestations are assembled as dynamic relational forms, but only temporarily, as they will soon be dismantled and re-distributed back into the studio, the file cabinet, or returned to a computer folder. As such, these works – and this exhibition – are in a state of continual becoming.”
