Holding (Space) assembles the work of six artists: Aki Hassan, Justin Loke (Vertical Submarine), Marcin Dudek, Maryanto, Noor Mahnun, and Xue Mu. Across drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media and installation, these artists interrogate systems, both seen and unseen, that shape contemporary existence. Scraping away at the veneers of dominant frameworks, they expose the fractures within and reimagine new ways of inhabiting these gaps. Meaning, place, and the self are continually renegotiated in these works. In each artist’s hands, material, gesture, and gaze become quiet but powerful tools to unravel and reconstruct the notions of support, kinship, connection, and resistance.
