Liminal Margins
Preview:
6–8pm, Thursday 16th September
Exhibition runs:
Friday 17th September – Saturday 2nd October
Pallas Contemporary Projects presents Liminal Margins – a group exhibition exploring the phenomena of ‘liminality’ – a threshold phase of moving from one state to another, a process or permanent action that is normally transistive but temporally suspended. This is the core function of liminality – a series of alterations through active physical states, while ‘marginality’ describes the condition of objects that have nearly returned from liminal flux to our understanding of expected action. These phenomena are explored through the media of photography, video, installation, drawing and documentation: magnets are temporally suspended, the limbo-state of a near-death is experienced, and performative elements provoke the viewer to become immersed in this unresolved state.
Liminal Margins is the outcome of the Intern programme at Pallas Contemporary Projects. The intern programme is a pedagogical component that engages with both resource and programming aspects of the Pallas Project, one which constantly evolves as oppourtunites for professional development and engagement with the participants arise.
