Contemporary artists have long been drawn to examining the blurred boundaries between fact and fiction. In recent times however, it is the interpretations of the former that has increasingly become a cause for suspect, and grounds for artists to relook prescribed beliefs. It is this condition of uncertainty regarding the relativity of subscribed truths that the exhibition Exceptions of Rule: Counterpoints to Truth, attends to, through the works of artists Song-Ming Ang (Germany / Singapore), A.R. Hopwood (United Kingdom) and Pak Sheung Chuen (Hong Kong).
Held at ADM Gallery of School of Art, Design and Media, the works can collectively be seen as provocations to domains of knowledge, and where unusual manoeuvres in art-making have the potential to become critical acts of discernment. The exhibition branding we designed conveys the ideas of the stretching of truth and challenges the notions of Fiction versus Reality.
A unique artist post card book we designed for Song-Ming Ang allows viewers to collect the postcard artworks displayed in this exhibition.
