Organized by the curatorial collective This Side Up for Deluge Contemporary Art, the exhibition surface to air features the work of ten young international artists presently convened in Victoria, BC. Working in diverse media such as paint, metal, wood and thread, within a framework of considered materiality, the artists in this exhibition explore the optics of restriction and expansion as applied to space and surface. Through nuanced direction and quiet revelation, the work in surface to air asks the viewer to engage the power and depths of solitary constituents which, through their interactions, seek to evolve into a cognitive, yet ever-expanding whole.
