Image as Object

Group Exhibition Proposal

Curatorial Statement

Image as Object is a contemporary art group exhibition proposal that brings together practices working across image, object, and material translation.

The project explores how image-based practices are transformed into physical forms through painting, textile, and object-based work.

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.
