Catch Through the Cracks, celebrating bodies we take for granted

“Catch through the Cracks” is derived from the idiom, falling through the cracks, meaning being neglected or unnoticed. Our bodies are easily overlooked on a daily basis and are largely restricted by various standards, both physically and mentally. We were born into our physical presences and accustomed to taking them for granted whilst their capabilities are often ignored, as well as the weights they carry individually and inter-generationally. Our relationships with our bodies are sometimes entangled with confusion and anxiety. However, the body itself has the nature of being vulnerable and ever-changing.

For this exhibition, we strive to attract attention to the bodies we dwell in. We invited artists who use various artistic practices to embrace the materiality of bodies and rediscover and reestablish their freedom and fluidity. These works tell authentic personal stories, explore bodies of different shapes and forms, and research their functionalities, mobilities and what is contained within. Through this exhibition, we hope to crack open some of the boundaries and limitations. Instead of falling into them, there might be wishes to catch something beautiful from them.
