‘Somewhere, Away’ is an exhibition of new works, presented by CONSTANCE ARI. The show posits a want for belonging, and proposes that distance and desire can lead to a deeper individual understanding of place and persons.
The artists selected for ‘Somewhere, Away’ haveleft home for New York, London, Portugal, and Melbourne. In their state of absence they create and send back an expression of yearning. CONSTANCE ARI is currently ‘away’. Away from a physical space, ongoing funding, and a traditional form. This doesn’t mean we don’t belong. We are always away, but always somewhere.
