Far Reach
(2023)
FAR REACH, Berlin, is a collaboration between R Gallery, AOA;87 and MaHalla, on the occasion of the Berlin Art Week
Curated by Mark Sullivan, Sam Vassallo and Alba Zari.
from the curators:
is world-building. Not as a passive, silent affair but as an essential vehicle of hope to propel forward. In this exhibition, 38 artists present shards of their inner worlds, out. These shards contain storehouses of boundless potentials in this imposed reality for the viewer to savour. Within the ShwarzeHalle, a path is crafted for the audience to delve into similarities, differences, idiosyncrasies, and embrace the diversity that contemporary art proposes to us. With a number of artists ready to imbue climate’s doom into our path, some pull the curtain on skin-deep senses for their own surreal planes. Others grasp the digital hand which marches us into the future. Together, they reach to stand as a totem apart from, yet deeply intertwined with, the world around us.

exhibited work: URGENCY (under my umbrella)
Merging off-the-shelve objects with some leftover timber, this sculpture offers shade on the go. The result is humorous, yet it masks a graver situation: the daunting reality of a shifting climate regime and the urgent need to temper the heat.
