UNCHARTED

Humanity has always been curiously seeking outside the realm of our current knowledge. We constantly race to explore uncharted realms, whether through advancements in technology or our ambitions to venture into new worlds and spaces. In response to this collective longing for something new, six artists have joined forces to present their work in Uncharted. Each artist has embarked on a personal journey into unmapped realms and returned with unique mementos, presented together in an atmosphere of the otherworldly. Rather than a definitive statement on the outcomes of exploring unmapped realms, Uncharted presents an open-ended meditation on the multitudes possible in the process of discovery. As humans we will always strive to venture into new worlds and spaces; Uncharted posits that maintaining a sense of optimistic curiosity in the process can yield delightfully unexpected forms. Uncharted offers viewers a contemplative reflection on the concept of the unknown in a moody, ethereal atmosphere of discovery, where anything is possible.

Born out of a curiosity to seek outside the realm of our current knowledge, Uncharted embarks on a journey into unmapped spheres, featuring six artists from three corners of the country. Across wood, ceramics, metal, and textiles, the six studios were challenged to push their creative boundaries, presenting in Uncharted fresh techniques in their ongoing exploration within their own individual practices. Plumbing the depths of the unfamiliar within their personal creative practices and processes, the six design studios in Uncharted present an exhibition of functional art that offers new perspectives on the unrelenting human impetus to explore new worlds.
