Presence//Absence, Curated by Britt Harrison

RRASP hosting Presence//Absence, a group exhibition curated by Britt Harrison

Presence // Absence is a multi-sensorial exhibition presented by “under the pale blue” curated by Rockella Space Member Britt Harrison and is supported by RRASP, featuring light and fabric sculpture, large-scale installation, multimedia painting, and live performance. The themes of this exhibition incorporate spirituality, ritual, life, loss, and identity.

Presence // Absence explores the tension between existence and non-existence. This selection of works of art invites the viewer to confront the space where meaning lingers and dissipates, where what is not represented is as valuable as what is.

Each work challenges perceptions of personal experience versus collective knowledge. We ask the audience to reflect on how identity is defined not just by physical form but by emotional resonance and historical weight. This sweeping, multi-sensory exhibition merges sculpture, installation, painting, and live performance to explore the intricate interplay between life, loss, and identity. Engaging the viewer in a dynamic conversation, this exhibition unveils the potency of absence as an active force, shaping the contours of memory, identity, and meaning. Each work is both physical and conceptual, inviting reflection on how presence can be felt in what is unseen and how voids subtly mold our perceptions of existence.

We invite you to join us on an introspective journey involving art, community, and inspiration.
