Closes April 22nd 2022

Au Courant Vol 05 - ON REFLECTION - takes an introspective turn as we speed towards our supposedly glittering, post-pandemic future. But can we glean anything from looking into our past? Especially when peering into memory is a murky, distorted, and grossly warped process at very best?

In conversation with a formidable group of artists and friends: SHANE HANSON on making a concrete space within the macrocosm; RODELL WARNER on the intersection of cyber selves and spiritual being; MAYA AAROHI on Bindali and the hyphenation of Nepalese and Maltese heritage; CARLOTA DOS SANTOS on navigating materiality through the body; ROBERT YOUNG on his iconic label THE CLOTH, and making clothes to dress the spirit; FENG FENG on sculptural sponges, sweeping, and the mechanisation of human experience; NOBLE DOUGLAS on motion, movement and a life in dance; ANN VINCENT on the malleability of a practice in wax; ANNALIE PRIME on unpacking modern musicality in the Soca capital; Rhiannon Buckley on growing ETIKETTE's sustainable design approach beyond its beginnings in lockdown.

Elsewhere: a studio visit with GEORGE FICKLING; we 'break biche' with CHANUA JOHNSON and wade through the endless vintage seas of WATERLOOPLEIN MARKT; we find rest on a bridge over rippling waters at SWEETSHOTEL HORTUSBRUG; mementos are immortalised by PARIS BLUETT; we taste bitter truths from JAMAL MEHMOOD's new anthology of poems, The Leaves of the Neem Tree; we read JAMIE GENOVESE's surrealistic writings; UNCLE VIBERT's record collection offers up a classic, steelpan-tinged playlist of vintage LP's; and the Flight Sails of the DESTINATION LOG sculptural installation by LEANNE WIGGERS and LISA-MARIE HARRIS travels over seas to the hands of LUIS VASQUEZ LA ROCHE.
