ss space space is pleased to announce its first-anniversary group exhibition, titled ‘Moving Metaphors: Remapping Moorings.’ This exhibition features the works of artists Amba Sayal-Bennett, Ani-Jen Yang, Sean Tseng, and Te-Yu Wang. The exhibition comprises over twenty pieces, including sculptures, paintings photographs, and site-specific installations, and aims to explore the fluidity between ‘light’ and ‘heavy’, ‘speed’ and ‘stillness’, and the manner in which elements intertwine and generate tension through movement. This exhibition extends the research initiated in last year’s opening exhibition. ‘Moving Metaphors: The Genesis of Space’, examining how artists carve out open fields for imagination through their works. It invites viewers to engage with the metaphorical spaces suggested by the works, reshaping their understanding of the world within the dynamic field of meaning construction.
In Amba Sayal-Bennett’s work, she frequently investigates the movement of bodies, knowledge, and forms across various realms. Employing materials, shapes, and colours as methods for abstract perception. Her recent pieces focus on the transformation of modernist forms, informed by studies of Fascist and Brutalist architecture. These works reflect the temporal and spatial dimensions and material applications suggested by architecture, challenging the once-unshakeable power and historical significance of these structures, and exploring the ‘interpretive space’ absent in homogeneous modernist environments. For the artist, this space is not merely a mediating, directional area but a field accommodating the flow of meaning.
