Re: Turning lives and breathes in this uncertain space between past and future, repetition and reinvention. The artworks exist in flux: even when they appear still, they mirror acts of turning. Think of re-turning—to past ideas, to unresolved gestures, to critical influences, to the moments when meaning bends and reshapes itself. 

Across fourteen distinctly different artistic approaches, common connections arise: between memories and materials, movements and multiplicities. Like time, artistic practice rarely moves in a straight line. It doubles back, speeds up, lags, changes its mind, swerves. Are these repetitions an undoing or a deepening? Is a turn breaking from the past or cycling back towards it? What does it mean to return even while arriving at an unfamiliar destination?  Will (re)turns that appear today as accidents reveal themselves later as necessary steps?
