Five artists and one writer working in sculpture, performance, drawing and prose
strive to question and understand the assumptions we often make
through the explorative nature of the work they make.

The show's title SuperRefraction refers to meteorological conditions
in which the trajectory of electro magnetic waves are bent in an arc
approaching the curvature of the earth. An unexpected and counter-intuitive property
of the heat and moisture content of the atmosphere,
SuperRefraction links the chance happenings of our environment
and a deeper understanding of the everyday stuff which surrounds us.

The new developments that come about by showing these emerging artists' works together
and the new questions they raise is the motivation for this exciting and forward looking show.
Some work will be made in response to the gallery space, some to ongoing conversations
between the artists and some to a text which will be published as part of the show.

The work revolves variously around our relationship to the object, an exploration of wonderment,
lyricism of form, links between form and history and ideas of integrity and honesty in material.
An ethic of openness and generosity binds these artists work
and although the discourse between their works has some history
this will be the first time they have all shown at the same space at the same time.
