Oblivion

To forget is not only to lose. Oblivion is also where the mind makes room; clearing space for what matters now, letting go of what no longer serves. The works gathered here treat forgetting as a generative act: a hairbrush, an armchair, each object caught mid-transformation, shedding one meaning to make way for another.

Working across metal, textile, found and fabricated materials, the artists in this exhibition ask what becomes possible once memory stops holding on so tightly. Domestic and bodily objects are freed from their original function, made strange, playful, ornamental, evidence not of loss but of renewal, of a self continually remaking itself. Nothing here mourns the past. It repurposes it.

Forgetting, in this light, is less erasure than editing: a structural condition of how identity stays alive, how history keeps moving, how images and objects find new use once their first purpose has passed. What remains in these works is not absence but possibility: gesture freed from context, object freed from owner, form open to whatever meaning arrives next.
