Content
The terrain charted in 'Beginnings, Middles, And Ends' is not to be reached by straightforward means. Here, narrative finds itself fragmented, and fragments about each other in turn, objects, sentences, and ideas in unruly order–a syntax of discontinuity and false starts. The exhibition extends over four gallery rooms and is based entirely on such fragments. Intentionally, there is no defined sequence. The untold is, in this sense, a quantity as well as a quality: for every path towards narrative, there is also a path in the reverse direction, along which lies the image of what goes unsaid.
