An Exercise of Meaning in a Glitch Season looks at contemporary art practices that embody the processes of poetic contemplation, seeking to tackle difficult questions and issues that are often swept under the rug. Art has long engaged us in these introspections, building muscle memory in bodily intuitions. This exhibition examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted such practices as our bodies are slowly altered during the course of this event, and highlights local articulations that mirror the many undercurrents the world is grappling with now. From proposing new paths of action to subverting the everyday with humour, many of these contemplations reflect collective resonances that unveil extraordinary truths.
