I_S_L_A_N_D_S

I_S_L_A_N_D_S is an experimental platform that encourages artists to reconsider the boundaries of their practice by testing novel concepts and alternative means of exhibition-making. The programme introduces short-term presentations in various formats, each building upon a topic or subject matter proposed by the artists.

[Island ecology ascribes increased speciation and biodiversity to islands, due to their isolation and high concentration of empty niches.] 

From November 2017–October 2018, we occupied eight showcase windows situated in the third-floor passageway between Peninsula and Excelsior Shopping Centres. These were repurposed as a hybrid social network, bulletin, and transitory space for dialogue and exchange. 

Beginning in April 2020, we return as a small shopfront unit at the basement of Excelsior Shopping Centre.

I_S_L_A_N_D_S adds and distracts from each artist’s practice, much like the ebb and flow of the tides.
