This Summer, S|2 presents Where Were You at Night, a group exhibition of tactile and intricate works which shift between ideas of the handmade, of touch, of holes and of weaving, to offer a compelling dialogue on materiality and the dimensions created by the negative spaces between. The second in a trilogy of group exhibitions at the gallery where a work of literature forms the conceptual framework, Where Were You at Night takes its title from a collection of short stories written by Brazilian author Clarice Lispector, which she began writing in 1951, and which will be reprinted in the show’s accompanying catalogue. Possessing not one narrative but fourteen, a new conclusion must be drawn from each thread. In the same way, each artwork in the show offers a new interpretation of texture and medium, and an exploration of the dark dimensions which exist between every perceptible thread of material.
