We encourage you to read this blog post on Beautiful Bizarre on our upcoming exhibition In.Visible, currated by Kirsten Stingle.
Curating In.Visible has been a self-proclaimed “passion project” for Kirsten, and while the artworks for the show are still arriving, Kirsten can’t hide her glee at the works received so far. She has shown full trust in the artists exhibiting, each creator having been given the freedom to interpret and “reweave” ideas, beliefs or stories, in order to create new works from a personal or larger societal perspective. Kirsten smiles: “Some artists examine specific archetypal themes, while others have literally reinterpreted a well-known narrative. The work I have received so far is incredibly intentional and powerful! I am absolutely thrilled with the narrative range.”
