The String Theory suggests that everything is made out of unbelievably tiny strings, whose vibrations produce effects that spark the world. Stringing together the miniscule and the immense, Downsizing: The Universe on a String weaves together these intricacies into one seamless whole, inviting viewers to reconsider their perceptions of scale and significance.
This student-curated exhibition presents the in-progress research findings by 29 artists currently in their graduating year of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Fine Art programme at the School of Fine Art. Each artist showcases a relic marking the significant inquiry and interrogation extracted from their ongoing year-long art research. The displayed relics examine a range of inquiries and topics such as the suitability and sustainability of natural elements as art materials to calibrate the ethical in socially engaged art practice. Downsizing is a critical opportunity for each art research to engage the public audience, aiming to test and further question the relevance, rigour, and integrity of each artist’s practice.
