-scape is an exhibition curated by Mo Chen and Snow Yunxue Fu, presenting a group of international artists’ works in a variety of media. The show takes on the idea of abstract space both physically and metaphysically.
The suffix -scape is derived from the word “landscape”, representing form, formation, shape, scene, picture, and view. The idea of scape engages with each work, in relation to its individual affect and content.
The framework of the show explores further the concept “scape” through the cultural structure of globalization, in particular ethnoscape, mediascape, technoscape, and ideoscape, coined by social-cultural theorist Arjun Appadurai.
The integration of the work grapples with the limitations of media and celebrates our worldly perceptions through multi-faceted artistic formulations.
