The body of works within the exhibition is a constellation of experiments (open for possibilities) whose forms subtly weave through painting, sculpture, photograph, drawing, lithographic prints and installation among others. It is an attempt to bring together these different forms, spaces, materials/objects into a single exhibition where audience can have varied experiences.
Through constructing, collecting and borrowing mostly from the “everyday” , the exhibition titled “TICK-TOCK TICK-TOCK; SURPRISES OF THE QUOTIDIAN” re-presents audience with everyday forms, materials/objects and sounds in almost the same but with a little tweak in terms of scale (either scaled down or up). This attempt raises questions like: how will audience experience these same “everyday” things presented to them within an exhibition space? Collectively, how do these “everyday” things and experiments come together and does it work?
In an attempt to document the everyday: train tickets, pieces of cigarette, beer bottle caps (the idea of consumption) were collected in the production of some of the works. Some forms were also borrowed from waste bins, bicycle racks (also as mode of installation) and photographs of cigarette receptacles and ash trays. The exhibition also includes oil paintings and charcoal drawings of livestock animals with an interest in the idea of consumption still fueled by the everyday.
