The Everyday
in Dramatic Closeness

This group exhibition focuses on everyday objects and the notion of scale in the visual realm. It presents photographic works as well as paintings and drawings, exploring questions of proportion, size, and zoom effects to consider the social, political, and aesthetic implications of scale in daily experience. Scale operates relationally: between the object and the image, between images themselves, and as part of the viewers’ imaginations. What new perspectives and reflections arise from playing with scale and what role does scale play in creative and technical processes, as material, gesture, and resolution intersect to allow new shapes, patterns, and figures to emerge? Artistic techniques do not merely reproduce scale; they enact it, becoming a site in which figuration and abstraction are modified through enlargement, reduction, or superimposition. These transformations can evoke different effects and often oscillate between attraction and repulsion, intimacy and distance. Both the everyday and scale mediate the passage between the personal and the collective, the ephemeral and the iconic.

The opening of the exhibition ‘The Everyday in Dramatic Closeness’ will be accompanied by a staged reading, which will delve into the manifold ways scale plays out in the literary perception of everyday life.
