We are pleased to present Unfixed Ground, a group exhibition opening on Saturday, 18 April from 12 – 7 PM.
The exhibition approaches ground as something continuously produced: fractured, inscribed, and held in tension between erasure and persistence.
The exhibition unfolds across two spaces, each tracing different ways in which meaning takes shape, shifts, and endures.
The first space brings together works by Mandy El Sayegh, Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim, Omar El Gurg, and Rand Abdul Jabbar. Across painting, sculpture, and material assemblage, processes of layering, repetition, and transformation remain visible. Grids loosen into dense surfaces where language and gesture intersect, while symbolic forms develop through accumulation and return. Elsewhere, sculptural bodies appear suspended between terrain and figure, suggesting ground as something both physical and imagined.
Rather than resolving into fixed meanings, these works hold multiple temporalities at once. Marks are built up, interrupted, and reworked; forms emerge gradually, shaped by memory, movement, and encounter. The space becomes one of ongoing construction, where meaning is contingent and continuously negotiated.
The second space shifts into a quieter, more contemplative register, featuring works by Asad Faulwell and Dima Srouji, Here, cycles of repetition and rupture unfold through painting and material fragments. Faulwell’s works engage recurring gestures and figures, tracing forms of endurance that move between ritual and resistance. Srouji’s practice introduces light and fragility through fractured elements that hold histories of breakage without restoring them to wholeness.
Together, these works attend to what remains: traces, residues, and partial structures that persist over time. Fragmentation is not resolved but held, allowing meaning to stay open and active.
Across both spaces, Unfixed Ground moves between density and stillness, accumulation and pause. It reflects on how ground—whether material, political, or symbolic—is continually made and remade. In this context, instability becomes generative: a condition through which forms are shaped, undone, and sustained.
