The theme is transliterated from the Filipino idiom naglulubid ng buhangin which means “to lie”,“to not speak of the truth.” This correlates to the Western figure of speech telling us of something not holding well, that there is weakness perceived in the presented connection of things or gathering of sensibilities.

The Galerie Stephanie exhibition Ropes of Sand conversely binds the works of contemporary international artists exploring the fragile transversals among the imagined, the perceptible, and the unknown. As a collection factured or seen as the artists’ (re)presentations of their lifeways, advocacies or convictions, or experiences, we are invited to tap into our own interpretations and influences on how we define and speak truths.

This MoCAF presentation is a panorama scrubbing from figuration to non-figuration, or in reverse, suggesting that the contemporary audience can pinpoint a preferred point of view among the spectrum of visual language and materiality that each artist masters to expand or complicate for the possibility of uncharted experiences and alternative meanings.
