The exhibition explores spaces that seem unknowable: speculative and alluring spaces that summon nature, science, and the human psyche. Constructed through contemporary installations of works that question notions of perception, intuition, and empirical knowledge, What Lies Within: Centre of the Centre, encapsulate the unique practices of the four artists included in the exhibition: Mel O’Callaghan (Australia), Laurent Grasso (France), Suzanne Treister (United Kingdom) and Pamela Rosenkranz (Switzerland). With works that encompass all manner of inquiry and examination of contemporary life, the exhibition confronts visitors with propositions, offering not answers, but visceral presentations of probabilities and truths about the contemporary world.
What Lies Within: Centre of the Centre opens at 5pm on the 5th September 2019 and is presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD), Manila in partnership with Artspace, Sydney. The exhibition is generously supported by Pioneer Studios, the Australian Embassy of the Philippines and the Embassy of Switzerland in the Philippines.
