ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
SOLILOQUY, is a series of solo exhibitions featuring a single work of art. SOLILOQUY challenges the viewer to engage with an artist’s work by removing familiar viewing elements such as comparison and contrast from the traditional exhibition format. In this, there is the hope to create a more focused dialogue about the artist’s work. For the artist, it exchanges the pressure of having to fill a space with presenting a single work to hold the room.
