Palimpsest Exhibition Metchosin ArtPod, 2024
PALIMPSEST: The Not-So-Blank-Slate
This show allows us to be both playful with materials and engage with a deeper reflection of our culture, ever mindful of what may have been lost and re-discover the value in what could be unearthed with the ‘ not so blank slate.’
In this exhibition, artists are challenged to interpret the concept of palimpsest in various fascinating ways. From the ever-changing layers of artworks that continue to evolve as they are impacted by the environment to people’s interventions leaving only traces of history, we also ask a bigger question of what was lost in the process. What will we discover about ourselves and our culture by unearthing the traces of our past?
