Image as Object

Group Exhibition Proposal

Statement

Image as Object is a curatorial proposal that brings together a selection of contemporary practices working at the intersection of image, material, and objecthood.

The project focuses on how familiar visual codes—drawn from popular culture, commercial imagery, and symbolic systems—are reconfigured through processes of translation into physical form.

Across a range of media, including painting, textile-based work, and object-oriented practices, the exhibition explores how images shift when they are no longer confined to representation but instead occupy space as constructed surfaces.

Rather than functioning as static signs, images within the exhibition operate as unstable entities. They are stretched, softened, fragmented, or materially reinterpreted, producing a tension between recognition and displacement.

The selection brings together artists whose practices engage with visual language as a site of transformation, where surface, texture, and repetition play a central role in redefining meaning.

Conceived as a tightly curated presentation, Image as Object is structured as a cohesive environment in which individual works contribute to a shared visual and conceptual system.
