Opening: Through Thick and Thin

A warm welcome to the opening of Through Thick and Thin on Saturday the 18th of August from 5pm - 7pm.

Artists: Dýrfinna Benita Basalan, Melanie Ubaldo

Through Thick and Thin is an exhibition about love, heartbreak and grief. To love is both tender and cruel, and no love however cruel is wasted. The exhibition is a site of both vulnerability and intimacy, compelling the viewers to confront the often uncomfortable realities of human exper­ ience. It consists of confessional writings, drawings, watercolor, and installations, which in a concrete and metaphorical sense points to the relationship between the oblivion of memory and the dissolution of romantic relationships, offering an intimate exploration of heartbreak. Memory is ephemeral and works about reality are often at best only faint glimpses and fragments of what we have seen, heard and felt; for representation is a depletion of the thing being represented. Each reiteration erases a layer of its original essence and all that we are left with are ruins.

Warning

This exhibition contains imagery related to addiction and grief.
