How can visual art practices record and conserve the movement of the human body in space?
Featuring the work of seven artists, Art Crush in Time focuses on the performative nature of
mark making. The title refers to the on-going research ensemble Art Crush, which since 2014 has been exploring themes reflected through its prism of multidisciplinary art forms. Through the exploration of a variety of notational systems in painting, sculpture and performance, this
exhibition seeks to provide a corporeal understanding of human movement in places.
The pieces selected reveal an emotional analysis of the dialogue between the body and the spatial constructions around it. By offering an intimate experience to the viewer, some artworks also visualize how built environments contain and direct behaviour in public social spaces. The
gallery is thus presented as a liminal place seeking a balance between individual constructivism,
mark- making as a recording device, and the shared space.
