Supersurfaces

The Invited International Design and Art Exhibition

This exhibition, SuperSurfaces, aims to investigate the properties of contemporary surfaces such as ephemerality, fluidity, and blurriness and to demonstrate how we can project something above the surfaces into the present-future or future-present. SuperSurfaces provides a time to create something more than instagrammable surfaces transcending zoomed-in, high-saturated, and fragmented art and design practices and becomes a place where we rethink and imagine “SuperSurfaces” with freedom. This exhibition features 36 groups or individuals: mathematicians, designers, artists, design and art educators who have closely worked with various print materials and screen surfaces.

 

I Like the Way You Touch, 2018 (poster diptych)

Our handheld devices have become almost like a breathing apparatus. The way we read, we look, we connect, we touch has changed shape with time. These gestures move in a narrow frame as the world is in reach quite literally from our fingertips. These movements are somewhat calligraphic in nature; they show contemporary boredom, entropic yet predictable, displaying our longing to reach something deeper than the surface we touch. We dsipaly and peer through filters, stroking, swiping, and yearning. For something.
